Does my cat know that we like the dog more than her?

Question

I have a dog and a cat, and everybody in my family really adores the dog, but hates the cat. Sometimes I feel kind of bad that everybody hates Cat, and I was just wondering if it's possible that she knows that we favor the dog? If she doesn't have the mental capacity to realize that, then I won't feel so bad.

So, input?

Answer 1

OMG you hate the cat? then why adopt it in the first place? Its better to give it away to a kind home than giving him step-motherly treatment...Of course it has feelings too..what were you guys thinking! how could you hate that innocent little animal who cannot speak and express itself when all it asked for was may be a little food and affection and you guys cant even do that....As far as I'm concerned all animals deserve affection and kindness. It is sad that certain people don't get it. How could humans even think that they are the wisest breed?

Answer 2

of course she does...

shes so annoying, she has to know it.

and sundaes just adorable.

so its obviously. i mean a goldfish could figure that out.

Answer 3

You betcha! Cats are more intelligent than dogs, and they are very sensual animals. If the dog gets all the attention, the cat will know. Why do you all hate the cat? Wouldn't it be kinder to find her a new home if you don't like her?  

Answer 4

Annoying? Seriously? If you say that because she is always in your face, she's just trying to get some desperately needed attention. Please find a new home for your cat and don't make excuses for affection neglect.

Answer 5

I've had a lot of cats, and I realized that they're capable of knowing a lot more than we give them credit. There's a really good chance that she does know. And if she does, there's also a good chance that she just doesn't show it or tries to not let it upset her. Like when a person is sad about something, and they ignore it to try to be strong or whatever.

Answer 6

Sorry to make you feel bad but she definitely knows your family doesn't like her.  Cats are one of the most intuitive creatures on earth.  And that would be really sad living in a home where everyone dislikes you, but since you just added an update that you'll try harder to show her affection....then I think that maybe you like her more than you think.

Answer 7

Animals are very sensitive to the feelings of the humans around them.  Also, I'm sure that your behavior is a big tipoff -- since you don't love the cat, you're probably not spending time playing with her or cuddling her.  So of course your cat knows that she's not loved.  If you dislike your cat so much, why do you have her?  Why not give her to somebody who will love her and give her a happy life?  That way, she'll be in a happy home and you'll be rid of an animal that you don't like -- a win-win situation.

Answer 8

if you dont like the cat, then send it to a good home... cats are intelligent even if they dont seem like it, so yes the cat knows you favor the dog

Answer 9

If everyone loves on the dog, but never touches the cat......yes the cat know you don't like her as much.  Animals can sence that.

Answer 10

Why have a cat that is annoying all the time or that you dislike?

I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and I love mine all the same!

Answer 11

Yes they have a hart and they love their child. So, they understand your behavior to them.
