Do animals have psychic abilities?

Question

6th sense, ability to tell the weather, etc...supernatural abilities...

Answer 1

Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative biologists, has plenty of research to prove animals do have psychic ability.

[Pet owners often comment on the surprising perceptiveness of their animals. For example, some cats seem to pick up when their owners intend to take them to the vet, and disappear, even when the person has tried to give the cat no clue. And some dogs seem to know when their owners are about to return, half an hour or more in advance, even when the person comes at an unusual time or in an unfamiliar vehicle (Sheldrake [1994]).]

Answer 2

Yes, it is their instints! I belive that they have a 6th sense. Not necceserilly supernatural abilities. But before Mount Saint Helens arupted dogs went crazy!!

Answer 3

Absolutely!
Many animals operate on levels our petty human brains cannot even touch - dogs that sense ghosts, cats that sense moods, etc.
I feel comfortable saying things like this mainly because of wierd personal experience -
viscious, snarling pit bulls that lay down and look pathetic when I approach to say hi, and a host of other interesting experiences with animals...
Animals are psychic! My guess: a hard-wired survival technique

Answer 4

I'm not sure it's a 6th sense...

But certainly they have the ability to interpret input from the senses they have.

Answer 5

i think they do. my mother used to tell me about a dog we had when i was too young to remember, but she always knew when my father was on his way home even when he came home at different times of the day. she would get all exieted and go and sit by the front door and wait and my dad would walk in 10 minutes later. either that or she had amazing hearing and could hear the car 5 miles away.

Answer 6

No, however their senses of hearing and smelling are far, far superior to ours and therefore they can discover things that we cannot such as detecting certain medical conditions a person may have such as cancer, or warn a person if he is about to have an epileptic episode.

Answer 7

I don't think they do. I just think they are more in tune with natural phenomena, while we have "blinded" ourselves to this with all of our technology. With a heightened sense of smell, they can detect changes in wind patterns and from experience guess what is coming, like a storm.

Answer 8

Well, at least animals can hear sounds that is to low (in frequency) for us to hear them, hence the animals near the tsunami ran or flied away. Then dogs can hear sounds that is to high for us to hear them (dog whistle).

But then I believe that maybe they also has a sixth sense.

How can they see or smell cancer? Or an epilecptic attack? Wouldn't you consider that some kind of ESP?

Answer 10

it depends on what you consider to be phycic. they are much more in tune because they came first in the evolution, so they have had more time to select sensitivities. humans came afterand as a cosicuence, humans have learned to depend on other animals.did you know that not one wild animal was found dead after the tsunami in india?
