Do pets have a sixth sense?

Self-preservation!

You know, I have noticed something similar. If I want to medicate the kitties, I cannot think about it beforehand or they "know". Right now I am force-feeding a cat to save her life and if I walk in there thinking about syringing the food into her...she scoots under the bed. If I walk in there and lay the food syringe down and pet her for a bit first, then I've got her and there is no struggle.

I wonder if it is the way we look at them...or if we ARE transfering thoughts or thought-pictures to them.

More likely, body language and eye movement. If they are the first thing you look at upon entering the room, they're wary.
