Do cats and dogs actually feel affection when you treat them right or is it really just an instinct for “more food and drink” etc?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen dogs, cats and other domestic animals smile because they’re happy and show love to their owners for treating them right.
Yeah I see memes but those are either photoshopped or snapped at the perfect moment to make it look like they’re smiling.
My dog definitely loves me. I feel the love every day from her. I can feel it in my bones. That animal loves and trusts me.
Others have cited sources but yes, dogs and cats definitely feel love.
