Do your pets ever learn to do new things (spontaneously)?

My female parakeet, Kiwi, likes to squawk. Last night she and the other female were "Squawk-talking" back and forth...something new and it seemed like they were talking with each other.

They probably were! My cat doesn't really do anything outside of cat parameters...BUT....he is a rescue, and he was so terrified and nervous, for almost a year and a half after I rescued him, that his total confidence and relaxation, his playing, and any cute thing he does seems really special to me.

@4meAndyou I took in an abandoned cat and it took a few months before getting her to accept being inside....she was the sweetest cat.

@cherokeepatti I am so glad you did that. We have to do something like that personally, I think, in addition to sending the ASPCA money every month, to try to stop the mistreatment of animals.
