I've read that dogs are "the only animals capable of reading the human gaze" dogs pay attention to where their people are looking and can be directed to targets with eye movements.
The "only animals" ?
Have the people who make such claims ever tried to read a large book whilst owning a cat?
I got a huge book in the mail today "Hymenoptera: The Natural History & Diversity of Wasps, Bees & Ants" Pica is assisting me in taking notes by laying on whatever photo, paragraph I'm trying to read.
