When haven't I sounded foolish ... LOL

I don't believe animals understand human speech. Human behaivor yes. If a cat (say a lion) growls at you ... you know you're dinner ... likewise if you come at a dog with a rolled up newspaper he isn't going to think you're going to give him a pat on the head.

That said, I don't think animals talk to each other verbally either, but if a mouse sees a snake hissing at it ... well no mouse is stupid enough not to understand danger.

My point, and I do have one ...

Sirius and Crookshanks, and even Scabbers for that matter, didn't verbally or (in my opinion) telepathically communicate anything. I think they just ... knew, neither of them liked Scabbers ... and they both knew why LOL obviously the cat, mouse, dog rivalry wasn't there otherwise the kneazle and the dog woulndt' have gotten along so well. A kneazle can't be that different from a cat right, then Sirius is a human/dog kind of person ... LOL

*complications* Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah *runs out screaming*

I have no clue ... but I think it was more based on their body language as animals act than speech or telepathy. Just a thought ... LOL told you all I sounded foolish.
