Dogs can't even tell if you launched the stick or not...
Nor can kids up to age 5 if you're good at deception.
Cats can't tell the difference between a real object moving on a surface and a beam of light..
Dogs are the same. They think they are humans. The first tribe members that clearly know that they are not humans are apes and some monkeys.
It kinda blew my mind that dogs are more empathetic than chimps. Maybe they used autistic chimps in the thing I watched, still seems unbelievable.
i mean chimps just kinda generally suck, i'd wager if you look at bonobos instead they'll beat the dog in empathy.
It's like chimps and bonobos are prototype humans, chimps are too violent and bonobos are too busy fucking each other at all times, and god finally got something more balanced when nudging humans into existence
You shouldn't put the words "cats" and "think" in the same sentence.
Then why did you?
Do you even understand the word "think"?
