Do you think it's true that animals have a sense of humour?

MissLT · Post by **MissLT** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 3:09 pm

Yes. My dwarf hamster used to swing himself around his cage like Tarzan for fun. Now he's old so he doesn't do it anymore. But gosh, when he was young... Every night around 9 o'clock, he would get up, eat and then go to the bathroom. Then he would jump on his ballhouse and hold the wires of the lid on top his cage and swing himself around the cage like a little Tarzan. When he gets tired, he would do backflips. At first, I thought he wanted to get out, so I took him out. However, when he was out, he was still doing his backflips on my bed

Definately; we have quite a few pets; ie a dog, bird, mouse. They all have characters my daughters bird gets angry with her when she doesn't show her attention, and will yell at her until she gets her out of the cage. Once out of the cage she is cute and cuddly.

Our dog is similar she will sit quietly all day until she has attention and then she is like a circus animal showing off her tricks etc. Quite funny really. When she is upset she looks at you with her big brown eyes (like let me in I need to sit with you).

I believe that most animals have their own personality; of course, they are like people.

I love them!!

My cousin's dog chases his tail and barks at his T-bone treats for fun. Stupid dog

. But cute as hell

I don't know if pets have sense of humour but they have sense of opportunity. My neighbours cat always knows where to sit down so that nobody will disturb him.

There's a show on American TV called "America's Funniest Home Videos" that have a lot of funny clips about pets doing crazy, silly and questionable things. It always gives me a stomachade from laughing whenever I watch the show.

You can see some bits of the clips at this site. Let me check around more to see if there is any site that carries the full clips. I'm pretty sure the chance is not great, though.

In scientific world, it is necessary to define what is sense of humor. Is it the animal perform funny motion or response to the master's jokes will be classified as having sense of humor. I don't know, human is also animal..... :P

I don't know it in the means of science, but my cat enjoys playing hide and seek with me. And a lot of other things, like showing what he can do (like climbing and jumping) when I have visitors. Sometimes he behaves like a real clown.

I think they do it for fun, too. Like my cousin's dog. Sometimes we throw rawhides for him and he eat them right away when he could catch them. However, there are other times that he won't catch them and just bark or throw the things with his paws a bit first before he would lie down eating them. And when we're busy to play with him, he would sit for a bit, then he'd stand up chasing his tail.

No wonder they are broadcasting it here, I'm watching it sometimes in the morning when I'm not hurrying for university. Stupid but funny

Well, I'm convinced animlas have quite a wide range of feelings and emotions. My dog doesn't have a lack of impudence, stubbornness and loving care, self-denial - those we ascribe for human beeings mostly. So why not to suppose they have a sense of humour. I'm sure she knows my gestures - when I smile she starts wagging her tail. when she was a puppy she used to bite the buttons off the matrass, I'm convinced she was doing it fo fun. and the way she eats fresh snow has me in stitches!

When my cat wakes me up with his claws in the morning, I really think he has a sense of humor. Sometimes I think he means to do something get me angry, then he can laugh at my reactions. I think he acts his sense of humor in a different way, but there is no doubt that animals have a sense of humor. I totally agree with that.

suyingwu · Post by **suyingwu** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 10:45 pm

If you had observed a monkey imitates human behavior, you may find out it has something in common with human. When a monkey copies our reactions, it seems try to prove that we will laugh at the reactions. It is similar like how pets entertain their masters.

On this basis, it may be concluded that animals have a sense of humor. When they do something funny, they seem tend to catch our attention.

OMG!
I don`t think they have a sense of humor!
Animal can recognize object but it`s limited to think cognitively.
I mean, they can notice which one is milk and book, but they can not have a process of thinking..
Therefore, they can`t think what would be funny or humorous. Maybe it is possible to behave cute or funny but they can not have a sense of humor!

They do. I can tell it by their tails when they are happy or sad. I can see the glow from their faces too. When my labrador was still alive, he cried in front of me when I bid goodbye to him. I never had thought that it would be the last time for me to see him.

I think that what we do is to humanize our animals. The animals have developed some primary emotions and instinctive behaviours but they have no rational mechanisms, so they don't have the ability to develop the humour sense.

That's not an absolute truth. We cannot compare the mental mechanism of a chimpanzee with a frog.

I have dog and cat. My dog is old but always he want playing. He runs with his toys for example bone, stone or ball. I see that he is smiling , because his eyes gleam. My dog sometimes makes me joke. He takes me my shoes and he carrys them outdoor.
My cat is bigger comic. My cat called Drapka. She is prankster. She runs everywhere. When I do my homework, she sits on my desk and knock down everything. She like biting when someone sleep, because she want playing all time.

Accordnig to my example , and other fanny stories I can tell: ANIMALS HAVE A SENSE OD HUMOR. meybe sometimes animals have bigger a sense od humor than some people.

I don't know if animals have a sense of humour. Some people talk to their pets but I think that they don't understand them. Animals have got they own language which people will never get to know. But some animals do funny things like getting around in circles and that makes us laugh .

alexandra · Post by **alexandra** » Sun Nov 24, 2013 3:27 pm

I don't agree with this expression, because animals can't speak and tell f.e. jokes. They make somebody smile, but this doesn't mean: "They have a sense of humour". Moreover, that, animals perform ridiculous activites, doesn't signify the view.

Klaudyna · Post by **Klaudyna** » Sun Nov 24, 2013 11:07 pm

I think that it isn't true that animals have a sense of humor because they are only animals and they aren't like people who can talk, laugh and feel. I know that animals sometimes can do a lot of funny things and they can put on a variety of funny and crazy positions but nonetheless in my opinin they haven't a sense of humor because they aren't beings who are able to communicate through speech.

I think it's true that animals have a sense of humour. Many people record videos as their pets behave ridiculously. For example, dance or move his head to the beat of the music.

I also had a funny situation with a dog my grandparents when I was six years old. Max was huge so I was afraid of him and always walked to the shed with my grandfather. One day I couldn't go for a grandfather, so Max ran up to me and put his paws on my shoulders. I got scared and I fell to the ground, and Max just started licking me. I was terrified, and for him it was fun.

I think that animals don't have a sense of humour, because they are only animals. Sense of humour is specify for humans. Pets can do something funny, but they don't know, what they are doing at the moment. They do this because they want to get a delicacy or draw our attention.

In my point of view animals haven't a sense of humour but have a sense of 'fun', but half the things we find funny just don't work with no language. How can you really tell if your dog's finding something funny when it looks happy after doing something silly, or if it's just happy that you're enjoying something it did?

I agree with the fact that not every animal has a sense of humor, because it is related to the level of intelligence. - The sense of humor in animals we can count, if the intelligence of a species is developed above. So with ants and beetle not to cause laughter, but the monkey already so! :)

In my point of view animals have a sense of humor although we don't understand them because they speak in their language. Dogs are one of animals which show their satisfaction and we can observe and feel it. One of my dogs all time is happy. I think that it has a sense of humor and by the means it would like to relay this me. Sometimes animals behave strange way which cause on our face smile. I think that animals have feelings and it is binding with having sense of humor. :)

From my point of view the animals have a sense of humour because they can do funny things. For example my dog hides my shoes in to his kennel.

In my opinion animals have sense of humor. I think that, because my cat has really good sense of humor. Every time, when I go to the kitchen, he hides behind the wall and when I am close, he attacks me and runs away like a ninja. Also usually, when I do my homework or learn he lies down on my books, covers up everything and I can't learn anymore.

Wojteeek · Post by **Wojteeek** » Mon Dec 02, 2013 6:36 am

In my opinion animals don't have sense of humour. There aren't any scientific evidences that they have sense of humour. Animals sometimes do something similar to smilinig but actually they are just thirsty. Last but not least reason is that they don't laugh, and they don't tell jokes. Sombody cans say "But animals can't speak so how can they tell jokes?" Exactly, they cannot, so my question is how they can have a sense of humour without telling a joke and laughing.

It is hard to say. I have never been an animal like dog or cat. I am certain that all people belong to realm of animals, so people can suppose that animals have a sense of humour. In my opinion animals are nearly identical as people , but people understand more. It the only differnce between people and animal. Animals like play with people. Dogs like wagging their tails. They must have a sense of humour. They are the living creatures , so they have qualities like sense of humour.

I think that animals have a sense of humour. For example, when cat is young, he want play with other cats or with his owner. Every of them scratch or accost somebody. If they don't have a GSOH they won't play and they will sleep and eat a whoooooole day.

I didn't noticed that he had sense of humour. He did't smile, jupm or play. The hamster only slept and ate. But on the other hand I watched a lot of movies in which animals did laughable things.

I believe that animals don't have sense of humor, because I have a dog, which lays on the bed all days. She doesn't show any feelings. Except for times when someone has something to eat. At once you become her best friend. Dogs have brains respondent two years old children's brain. Sometimes we can imagine that they have sense of humor but this is only an illusion, because they have smile on their faces.

This is a hard question because we can not experience it. I think animals dont have a sense of humor. Often we see that the dogs moving tail which means that they are happy. However, I think this is due to the fact that animals love to play. Therefore, I think that animals do not have a sense of humor, but I could be wrong on this because I do not know about.

Of course they do a funny things and merry tricks but not because they know about funny side of things which they do. It's only a human decision what make his laugh.

I don't think that animals have a sense of humor. Even when they want to play with you, they just do it because they are bored or you stole something for them. I have a dog and a cat, who are their opposites. My dog wants to play only when i stole his toy, even we he try to get it back i don't know if he is having fun 'couse he can't smile. On the other hand my cat just sleeps and eats, if you interrupt him he will scratche you - that's why even when he would be a human he wouldn't have a sense of humor. You just can't tell that animals are smiling or laughing - THEY CAN'T DO ANY OF THIS THINGS.

It's hard to say for me because I have never had an animal, but I think they really have a sense of humour. I can't explain it, but I believe in it. I often see two cats or dogs which are playing with each other, and I think they can communicate with each other and that's why they are happy. I can't say how animals can understand other animals, but I think they just can.

I don't think that animals have a sense of humour. With it I mainly associate jokes. When people tell them or laught at them, we know that they have a sense of humour, but animals..? I have a dog and I often feel that he is happy when I for example come back home or when I play with him in some games, but he unfortunately doesn't understand jokes, so he can't have a sense of humour.

Lately I have been reading that monkeys like and can laugh and they laugh sounds similarly to our. But I don't think that others animals have sense of humor. For example when I come back to home my dog is enjoy that I come but he doesn't laugh when I said jokes or something funny.

I dont think so that animals have sense of humor, they can have a lot of type emotion but i never saw my cat laughing or something like this, my cat is happy, sad or bored but never saw any behavior that would indicate a sense of humor.

Animals don't have a sense of humour. That can't laugh. They can't telling jokes. They can't doing crazy mines.

This is hard question, 'cause we don't know what other person or animal

feel, but in my opinion- ofc they have! My Grandfather has a dog and he certainly have sense of humour! He (dog, not Grandfather

) smiles, he shows us a lot of feelings every day! So- yes!

Yes, be more sensitive of your pets' felling... observe them more often, eventually you will notice that they too find ways how to communicate with you.
Good luck!

I think it's true. We all have inexplicable fears, which can sometimes take over us and immobilize our will. I'm afraid of height, for example. I haven't been able to overcome this fear since my childhood. But at the same time it's so natural for people to be afraid of something. This world is full of dangers, and in order to survive we must always be cautious and alert.

yes, they have feelings too... my youngest puppy (all of my dogs are puppies even if they are old already) has thought of a way how to ask us to play with her.
