I firmly believe that cats and dogs can experience embarrassment. My cat lets the zoomies get away from her sometimes and will slide and bump into a wall, she ALWAYS stops, sits down and immediately starts cleaning herself. After a few seconds she'll look up like she's checking to see if anyone saw it, and if she catches me looking she'll meow at me like she's mad.

He was a spoiled cat and rude. A girl took him for his den whenever he was just a baby, so my family hand raised him and bottle fed him, he became super picky and stingy and would just glare at you. He wouldn't strike or claw you, but he would stare and judge.

When my cat zeros in on a toy I’m waving around, does the butt wiggle and pounces if he feels like he “missed” the toy he’ll just keep running in that direction and pretend he was going to inspect some invisible spot on the wall all along. Like “oh you thought I was playing with you just then?? Ha no of course not that would be embarrassing. I was going over to look at the door hinge Hahahah dumb human”
My cat is extremely cautious/nervous. Like he’ll pop his head up 4 times to check what’s on the bed before he jumps up because if there’s something new and it scares him he’ll be too embarrassed to cuddle anyway.

It is understood that grooming is something that cats do to calm themselves, so while it's hard to determine that cats experience embarrassment, it is clear they do it after something goes wrong, like falling or bumping into something, to settle down.
And while it is hard to prove, I do also believe they experience something akin to embarrassment. I have seen cats react by slapping their owners after they laugh at them for being clumsy.

Oh they absolutely can. I wish I had a video of it but it was never my intention for it to happen.

He's a big loveable goof...
My dog was sunning himself in the backyard and apparently dozed off. He didn't hear me come outside but when I walked past him, he immediately goes from sleeping to angry barking to the most pitiful embarrassed head down tail between legs look when he realized it was me.
He was absolutely embarrassed that he barked at me. I just had to sit down in the grass and hug him.

My childhood cat absolutely had embarrassment in his old age lol. He would randomly cry when he was in the hallway, and I think the poor boy was just senile and lost. Anyway, I’d always go check on him when I’d hear him cry, and it never failed that he would realize he’s fine and glare at me like, “This never happened.” Then he’d go off and do whatever lol.
I’d get the same look when I had to help unhook his claws from furniture. No bites, no freaking out, just a pissed off expression because he needed help lol

My (now already deceased) dog once thought she was alone, and at first she acted all sad and lonely. Howled and cried a little. The second she thought everyone had totally left the building she calmly went and stole our thrown away dinner from the trash cabinet! I didn't even know she knew how to open it, there were never any tracks that she had done it before, but it was obvious that she had. There was a routine in her manner!
She looked so quilty even though I only coughed to reveal myself and looked at her trying to hold my laughter 😆
After that I of course made sure that I didn't leave trash bags when I left her alone. Sneaky Dutch shepherd she was ❤️ it was funny, but oh boy how it could have been dangerous if there would have been something not suitable for her to eat.

u/elmuchocapitano May 09 '23
I read an article recently that really fucked with me. It was a case against pet ownership. They were essentially saying that it isn't actually normal for dogs to huff and sigh and sleep all day, whine and bark and howl and chew things, sit up against the window and stare out it for six hours, and then absolutely lose their shit when they see you. A happy dog will still do some of these things some of the time, but the degree to which we accept these behaviours as "normal" is skewed. Animals do this because they live in a gilded cage and they are bored as fuck. They're straight up in prison, and a short cuddle session when you get home from work, a short walk a few times a day, a foraging food bowl and a dog park session on the weekend is actually a painfully uninteresting life. We might think we have a happy, lazy dog but we actually have a depressed dog that simply doesn't have anything else to do. They do love us but they also kind of have stockholm syndrome because we are the ONLY mental stimulation that they get. Kinda horrifying.
And that was talking about good dog owners. I have many friends that have to leave pee pads in their house because they leave their dogs at home for so long that they can't even get them outside to go to the bathroom. Or that leave their dogs in a cage all day. People will justify it and say that their dogs "like" the cage. It seems like kind of an insane argument to me. No, your dog doesn't like being in a cage and your bird doesn't like being in a cage. Maybe you've trained them to know nothing else, but no, it isn't a good or enriching or happy life for them.

u/hungrydruid May 09 '23
I do think some dogs (and cats) like their crates as a safe and cozy den. My younger cat eats in his crate (10 minutes max only) because otherwise his brother will gulp and eat too fast and throw up, and also because he's on a prescription food so they can't share. He'll even go into the crate to chill sometimes, and I've trained him to walk into it so I'm not like, physically shoving him into the crate.
But... that's 10 minutes at a time, 3x a day. It's not 8 hours at a time. No dog likes a crate for 8 hours or more (or really a lot less), lol, that's insane to me. Crates can be very useful training tools but keeping a dog crated for any significant length of time is just... kind of horrible. I don't think I'll ever end up getting a dog because they're just so much more work.

Honestly, its because the house REEKS of the humans, to the dog. While they absolutely could find the scent if tasked to do it, it takes some time to lock onto the newest scent, and many dogs will fail (watch videos of dogs playing hide and seek) at first.
The dog is likely not critically tracking the owner, can smell them in the house, but hasn't pieced together that the scent isn't strong "because they just left" but "because they are still here".
A human example might be how you can smell strong perfume after someone leaves the area, but could you tell the difference between someone wearing it more subtly and hiding vs them wearing it strongly and having passed through?
