Welcome to Steemit, I look forward to hearing more about this field of work and study. And though probably not related, I can verify that communication with my goofy cat Stinky is definitely a very real thing. She communicates very effectively, and I seem to do OK in return. Thanks for the post, and Full Steem Ahead.
Thanks @ddschteinn oh yes communication with animals is a real thing. Everyone has the ability to do it you just have to recognise that you are doing it
