Your pet is standing right behind the door as soon as you enter your home and he knows exactly when you’re getting ready to leave the house. Just plain co-incidence? Or telepathy? Most animal experts swear by the fact that animals are psychic and they have a higher extra sensory perception that humans are not gifted with.
Most pet owners, especially those who have pet dogs say that there have been many instances where their pet’s behaviour has left them baffled. Rahul H, owner of a Dalmatian says that Steffie always knew when he was wrapping up his studies for the day! “Every morning, promptly at 4 am, she knew that I would shut my books and would come and lick my toes. I probably conditioned her through the years, but there were times when I woud finish an hour later and she would just know. It was surreal,” he smiles.
Vet Lohith says that pets do have some sixth sense. “I have heard of many instances when pets have shown their extra sensory perception. It’s very common among dog. Even other animals, especially cats, are known to have sixth sense.”
Then there are other pet owners who love that their pet can sense their presence. Sara says that her hamsters are awake the instance she walks into the room. “Hamsters are generally awake at night and sleep during the day. I don’t know if it’s the sound I make when entering my room or it’s the smell. But somehow or the other, his ears always prick up and he’s on all fours the minute I walk in. I love that moment we share.”
Many people and pet owners are already aware about cats having ESP. In fact, some pet owners even swear by their cat’s sixth sense. Priya B, a Ph.D student who has two cats named Jai and Veeru says, “They always knew when the other was on the verge of falling sick. I’m sure they have their own feline language, but it’s amazing how Jai always just sat really close to Veeru when he knew something was wrong,” she says.
Animal specialists are unsure about how this phenomenon occurs with animals but they are quite sure that it exists. They always manage to astound those around them.
