Question of the Day - Tuesday, January 28

[cassiopea]

Hey Everyone! Happy Tuesday!








If you have the ability to speak to only one animal species in the world, which would choose to communicate with and why?








No doubt kitties would be a popular response for very understandable reasons (I would be on the same boat) but I would also probably opt for some sort of bird...likely crows. Very intelligent with good memories, and if I ever get stuck or trapped somewhere would be a great opportunity to ask for help!

 

[Katie M]

Only one?

I would love to be able to talk to cats and dolphins. Don't make me choose

 

[Maria Bayote]

Since cat would be the obvious answer as you said, another one would be dogs.

I would really, really love to be able to talk to my 3 dogs. I want to know if they are happy and contented with our family, and what else can we do to make them the happiest, like this fella over here.

 

[Graceful-Lily]

I would want to talk to reptiles like lizards and snakes.

 

[maggiedemi]

Cats because obviously I would love to be able to have conversations with Demi & Maggie.

Anything else would be secondary, but I love llamas and horses, so it might be fun to talk to them.

 

[muffy]

Cats and dogs but mostly cats. I would be interested in that they have to say to us humans.

 

[maggiedemi]

I kind of feel like I can already talk to my cats though. They understand English and they show me what they want. They usually do what I say, like get in the carrier or get back from the door.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Cats because I hate when they can't tell me they aren't feeling good. But I like the idea of being able to talk to some wildlife. Like deer or foxes or something.

 

[Jem]

I think I would want to be a able to communicate with an animal that is known to be in large numbers and moves around a lot. Crow was one that was already mentioned, but maybe mice or another to the that same extent. It would be a great way to be "in the know" for pretty much anything going on with the weather and even events or dangers around the area. They could communicate like a chain like in the 101 Dalmatians movie (barking dog chain), and then tell me what's up.
That or I would want to be able to talk to mosquitoes and black flies, so I can tell them to stop biting me!!!

 

[Tik cat's mum]

Cat's is my first choice I would love to understand what my patches wants. My second choice would be Elephants I think they look so wise, and could tell a good story.

 

[di and bob]

Cats first choice (of course), then..... I really can't choose another, just cats!!!

 

[aliceneko]

Cats, of course!

 

[EmersonandEvie]

Deer. I want to ask why they run in front of a car, pause, turn, and then run back in front of the same car.

 

[sivyaleah]

Well yea cats so let us get that out of the picture.
I'll go with dolphins because once I swam with them, and it was so apparent there was intelligence in them and I really would have liked to have known what was going on through their minds and to have been able to have had a conversation with them - although in a way, I feel like I did.

 

[mani]

The Australian Magpie. They are extraordinarily intelligent and they get around. They recognise human faces and bring their young to introduce them to friendly humans. I have a wonderful relationship with the ones who have 'adopted' me and would love to take it further.

 

[Maria Bayote]

My second choice would be Elephants I think they look so wise, and could tell a good story.

Elephants! Yeah, I love these intelligent animals. If only I could also talk to them.

 

[Mia6]

Cats. I would love to be able to explain to Callie why the Vincie girl is no longer with us
and not to look for her on the deck because she isn't coming home.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Cats, of course, but other than cats, I'd choose humans. I'd love to be able to actually have conversations with people and not muck it up.

 

[AbbysMom]

Cats of course. Abby hasn't been feeling well and I wish she could tell me what's wrong.
