Do cats and dogs actually feel affection when you treat them right or is it really just an instinct for “more food and drink” etc?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen dogs, cats and other domestic animals smile because they’re happy and show love to their owners for treating them right.

Yeah I see memes but those are either photoshopped or snapped at the perfect moment to make it look like they’re smiling.

    Not an easy question to answer. You should ask of them, or check the poems and songs they write.

      Roses are Red,
      Violets are blue,
      I sniff buts,
      and so do you!
