Three Dog Eves--They really do
understand us--even better than our cousin chimpanzees. Well, at least when
food's involved.
As to how wolves became dogs, the current understanding seems to be they tamed themselves--in a
Survival of the Friendliest. Here's more on
animal linguistics. As for cats, well, Stephen Budiansky in
The Character of Cats suggests they aren't even really
tame. Hence, unlike dogs, cats haven't bothered to pick up our language--they've taught us
Cat talk instead. Take the test and see.
A woof out to Australian Broadcast Coporation's five part Animal Attraction series is called for here. C--Miao baby!

The Hindu nationalist group Bajrang Dal name a puppy George Bush. This isn't meant to be a complimentary act... it's in reaction to their discovery that the Bushes' cat's name is India (short for India Ink). They've taken this as an insult to the nation, and have retaliated with the puppy.
I'm kind of curious about what this tells about Indian naming practices and significances, as compared to those in the US. Could someone more familiar with Hindu/Indian culture please enlighten me as to why they'd feel so insulted?
