Add source How much do we know about what's going on in our pets' minds? If you believe that it's all simple in there, pondering about a delicious snack or where's the ball, think again. Sometimes our furry friends seem to have an incredibly intelligent side we're not aware of.

Reddit user Overt Operation started a viral thread about the most "creepily intelligent thing" our pets have ever done and it quickly spread to other platforms, gaining most of its popularity on Twitter. The well known Wholesome Memes account posted the same question and hundreds of responses started pouring in, each more surprising than the previous one. Check out the best tweets Bored Panda has collected from the thread, upvote your favorite ones, and be sure to share about the times your own pets acted ridiculously smart in the comment section below.

One of mine figured out what the latch on his cage door was for. He wasn't strong enough to open it, but he would start grabbing at it to let me know when he wanted to come out.

181 181points reply View More Replies... View more comments We reached out to Dr. Brian Hare, author of Genius of Dogs, to find out more about our pets and their intelligence.

He is a core member of the Center of Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University and has been researching the evolution of cognition by studying both humans and animal species.  When asked about the intelligence of our dogs, the best-selling author said that sometimes we do overestimate them, especially when it comes to understanding physics. "Dogs usually fail principles of connectivity, where they get tangled around lamp posts. Or gravity, when they drop their ball on a really steep hill." However, we underestimate them too: "For instance, dogs are better at reading our body language than our closest living relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos.

Even though dogs do not have hands and do not point, they can understand what we mean when we point, either to help them retrieve something they've lost, or if we want them to see something that we have seen." #2 rawallace32 Report Final score: 690points POST Vasana Phong Vasana Phong Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Look at that face ? 157 157points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Humans are also able to connect with dogs on a deeper emotional level, like through eye contact. "Researchers have found that when your dog stares at you, oxytocin, also known as the 'hug hormone' goes up in you, and when you return your dog's gaze, their oxytocin goes up," Dr. Hare explained.  He added: "This promotes feelings of warmth and bonding, and is also known as an oxytocin loop.

This also happens to be how babies bond with their parents-before they can walk or talk. They rely on eye contact to bond, and it seems our dogs do the same."  There have been countless studies about dogs and their incredible ability to detect smells.

However, Dr. Hare mentioned that their sense of smell is actually not as remarkable compared to other animals, for example, a rat. "But because our human sense of smell is so pitiful, we find it wondrous that dogs can use their sense of smell to track down endangered animals, or find a missing child by smelling a scrap of clothing," he said.  #3 pixelsNplay Report Final score: 688points POST Alexia Alexia Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago D'awww, that's sweet 105 105points reply View more comments #4 _DrKat Report Final score: 687points POST Alexia Alexia Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Who's a good boi?

Yeees, you are a good boi! 148 148points reply View More Replies... View more comments According to the best-selling author, smell might help dogs remember someone who has been gone for a long time, or who has changed remarkably in appearance.

But what smell has done, paired with their relationship to us, is to help us through partnership-dogs can help smell explosives, or detect narcotics, or find missing people, or endangered species. "Because dogs are motivated to help us, their sense of smell benefits us in a way that a rat's never would," he explained.

When it comes to canine intelligence, it is not just one-dimensional. Dr.

Hare said that a person can be smart at math but terrible at English, one can be a great public speaker but a terrible listener. Dogs are the same: "There are many different types of intelligence and different dogs are good at different things.

That being said, we can certainly help dogs hone their natural abilities, through training and practice." #5 sonicoffline Report Final score: 639points POST Caro Caro Caro Caro Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Sweetheart! 82 82points reply View more comments #6 iopele1 Report Final score: 575points POST Rebekah Rebekah Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Purrs have healing powers.

View more comments We also contacted jei, a Twitter user who replied to this thread and shared how their cat came running into the room after they sneezed, trying to check up on them. Talking about how well our four-legged friends know us, jei mentioned that they probably understand a lot more than we realize.

For example, when their mom comes over, their fluffy cat is well aware of how to get a few pleasant rubs: "He knows she might ignore him if he sits quietly but if he brushes by her with his tail up, she'll stop to rub him," they told Bored Panda. The same goes when their mother is eating, the cat will wait until she's ready to get up, then "he comes tail up to entice her to rub him first before she moves." #7 diplomacywaffle Report Final score: 549points POST Helenium Helenium Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago awwwww 66 66points reply View more comments #8 M1LF_SL4YER Report Final score: 531points POST Ali Sherlock Ali Sherlock Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago LOVE IT 113 113points reply View more comments Jei thinks that pets can sniff out our troubles simply because they watch us and have keen senses for picking up things we don't yet realize ourselves.

For example, their fluffy feline is very observant and caring: "If I sneeze he is usually coming to check and meow at me, if he hears me fake crying or making sad noises he will come (my chunky cat is not impressed or pressed to check), and if I am sick both will usually be more cuddly and tend to stick around more from room to room." #9 nikkigarcia_es Report Final score: 512points POST Michelle M Michelle M Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Understandable 180 180points reply View More Replies...

View more comments They assume that we can train our pets to become more intelligent. "I call my kitties Bonnie and Clyde sometimes because of the things they get into together.

… I know I have seen them work together to figure out things on their own." Bonnie (chunky) is highly food-motivated and always watches her owners to see where they hide the delicious snacks and how to reach them. She even figured out three ways to open most doors in the house. "Clyde (fluffy) would usually watch her and it would be several times watching before he could figure out how to do what she was doing," jei told us.

#12 Peppi_De_Fab Report Final score: 425points POST Mermaid Elle-Jaye Mermaid Elle-Jaye Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago One of mine learnt that from a cat resort when I had to go away for a bit. It’s insane the stuff they do.

My mini would get a firm “off the table!!!” Anytime she jumped up onto the kitchen bench or dining table etc one day I needed to make lunches and I told her “get of the dang table mini!!!” She looks around and continues to place all 4 paws on a folded cloth napkin off to the side and squat = technically not touch the bench. I could go on about her smarts but that one always makes me laugh, the fact she even processes that thought makes me proud.

I wasn't about to let wild boar think that they could claim my yard when I had toddler nieces and nephew visiting a lot at the time. Nothing was out there.
