this may sound stupid but just out of curiosity do animals cry?

Answer 1

For dogs it can be separation anxiety. They feel alone.

Cats usually are trying to get your attention, mine would want up and have lots of love before he would even eat in the morning.

Answer 2

My dog "crys" when he is scared. I don't know if he sheds actual tears though. There's been a lot of debate over this topic, next to "Are dogs really color blind" They aren't color blind, they just can't see colors as vividly.
But anyways, my dog has been upset and had this look in his eyes like he is crying. (he is a maltese) Then when I pet him he starts to look happy again.
When I first started leashing him he would "cry out". It hurt really bad because I had to ignore him because I was pretty sure he was trying to "fake me out" so I would take the leash and collar off. My dog is really smart. He just didn't want to be led around. He thinks he should be, leader, not follower. But, yeah, I don't know about other peoples dogs but mine cry when they are sad or just plain frieghtened.

Answer 3

Most of them don't shed tears (no tear ducts), but most make some sort of noise to indicate pain or distress. Young animals that are at-least partially raised by their parents usually have a special cry to attract a parent to them if they're separated too long.
