Animals express emotions and react to owners leaving: Animals don't always understand when owners leave, but may react instinctually with behaviors like peeing or meowing, and some may exhibit psychic behavior. Owners can check in on pets with cameras, but animals show love through food and shelter.
Animals, such as dogs and cats, may express their emotions and react strongly when their owners leave them alone. While some animals, like Biggie the dog, may show their displeasure by peeing on objects, others, like Fluff the cat, may swat or meow at their owners upon their return. These behaviors don't necessarily indicate a deep understanding of the situation or a lack of love from their owners. Instead, they may be instinctual reactions to the absence of their caretakers. Additionally, some animals may exhibit psychic behavior, such as anticipating their owner's return, but this is not a common occurrence. Animal owners may find comfort in installing cameras to check on their pets while they're away, but it's important to remember that these animals are showing affection in their own way, often through food and shelter.
