Bees are the only animal motivated enough to eviscerate themselves in order to bring some discomfort unto their enemies.

You know, I honestly don't know what I'd do with talking animals. If I could, I'd have a rat and let it roam my house, but cats make that an impossibility (unless trained, but the rat would be introduced late into the cat's life). I'd still love to hear what a rat would say, though. I also would love to hear what https://youtu.be/XmHeYpjnw50 , and other mischievous l'il bastards, would say.

On the opposite end of that, what WOULD they say? If you imagine a house like a prison, then you would see what they may see. I know our cats like to escape because of open doors, and know how to open lever-handle doors. I don't think a rat, and especially not a ferret, would take kindly to being kept in a cage when you are home and nearby.

Unless it's a meliponine bee. They don't care enough to use their stingers.

Wasps, on the other hand, were motivated enough to find a way to prevent evisceration so they can do it more than once.

If animals could talk my dog would probably ask me why I always put peanut butter on my feet after a long day of standing up at work.

If animals could talk, they'd probably question why we eat some of them, such as beef and pork.

Same reason the other animals are eating them. It's a dog-eat-dog world. And with humans possessing the guns, trying to eat them would have some pretty dire consequences.

Lets face it... almost all animals are very stupid and have limited cognitive scope. Including but not limited to mind blindness inability to perceive multiple objects at once and almost zero planning skills. Animals wouldn't say anything smarter than a five year old human and most conversation would be beyond them.

Only because you're too fatty and clingy for them to properly retract the stinger, mammal.

My pets would start to be annoying at first, but I'll get used to them sooner or later.

I would relish in their screams as they are slaughtered for food. I would look at my pets, with a manicial look on my face, tell them if they do not submit to me, serve me. They too, will be feasted on.

wasps are A-holes in general. worse yet, when your moving some stuff in the yard or something and a red wasp comes by and starts hovering to irritate and scare you (i tend to be easily spooked by them and bees. :( ). well, not all of them. e6's resident wasp tends to be friendly enough.

It's not like anyone else in this house is going to rub my feet. The dog gets free food this way.

OMG!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but that's Genius. Even if it is sort of nasty.

Rats don't really mind the containment if there's enough space, though I always had mine out during my waking hours.

Rats would likely just say "feed me" a lot, but they don't need words for that. Can confirm: have owned many.

Not to tear off topic, but I am really excited now. If conditions are right, I can be getting the tank, and by extension the critter, real soon. And I'm only hearing better: they're fast learners, females are much more active, they'll live for a while on top of learning fast. this is a real mood lifter.

However, to bring it back on topic, what do you think your species would say? Other than your icon's immediate "SQUEE!" Sound I am getting from it.

Please don't get a tank. Get a normal barred cage. Tank ventilation is crap and they're more annoying to clean.

My actual fursona is a rat. I can confirm the desire to be given food.

Oh. Well, we call it a tank, but it's actually just a really big cage. The reason for "tank" is because it's too big to fit in a family van, we need a truck to safely keep it to where it's not forced inside. Emphasis on forced in, it is not a massive cage, just one that won't fit. My mother is a manager at Petco, she knows what she's getting.

However, now that i think about that, an interesting question pops up: what would animals, that can speak human, say about other species that can't?; What would a real life rat say about a ferret?

And, if they could talk to eachother, but not to us, what would they say?

"Git off mah lawn, hippie!"

"Kill all humans."
