Question

Is it possible for animals to feel 'embarassed'?

Answer 1

Definitely. Especially dogs, but sometimes cats.

Answer 3

hmm......ive never thought about it before and i have no idea.......=/

Answer 4

yeah it is they have feelings just like us if you give them a haircut they don't like the cool feel embarrasses as they see another dog/cat etc. walking down the street. I know i dog who used to cry once he saw his short hair cuts.

Answer 5

Our cat doesn't he beams with pride when he cr@ps in the neighbours flower bed.

Answer 6

Yes, I do, in particular dogs.

Answer 7

Yes!

They have feelings too! :)

Answer 8

I think that the answer is yes. Cats and dogs know what they should and shouldn't do and they have feelings similar to ours if they try subterfuge but are caught out. I know that some people refuse to believe that other animals can feel "human" emotions but why not? It's likely that these emotions evolved over time for a purpose.

Answer 9

i wonder.....................................

Answer 10

yes i think i've seen my dog act a little embarrassed before.

Answer 11

i think so, when my cat peed on the carpet he was acting really ashamed

Answer 12

Yes...Yes...yes...LOL...Our Little Female Dachshund will not show her face when we put her faux fur trimmed green velvet coat on during the winter...she hides under our china cabinet until we physically pull her out and take the coat off....then she is fine...if this is not embarrassment, I don't know what is!
