A cat has nine lives, so you say. But does cat live to count nine? Yes. Once I read that cats can count. They can count seven. And only seven. Whether that is true does not matter but what matters is that animals do have some emotional attachment with the human beings and their own species. They experience ‘experience’ also. We have all observed this or if we minutely observe, we can experience this. This is particularly true about domestic animals. Might be owing to close association and intimate relation, they manage to learn a few things and they apply this experience if and when the situation demands of them. They also have joy and sorrow of their own which also they share with their masters and kith and kin. We have also observed the behaviour and mental acumen of the trained animals let alone the pet ones. So animals are just not dullards and we cannot take them for ride. Intelligent Quotient (IQ) of theirs might not be high but their Emotional Quotient (EQ) is fairly even.
