She’s back, with another purrrfectly (pardon our pun) executed classic performance — and this time she’s playing a duet.

If you have pets, you may have wondered whether they know what you’re thinking. Perhaps your cat hides when you start planning a trip to the vet. Or maybe your dog runs in circles when you think about going out to play. Both of these events can have logical explanations.
