What if you could really talk with your pet ?

That would be really neat. I would love to be able to converse with my birds and find out what they are really thinking. I'd love to be able to tell my girl bird that she really can let the boy on the perch with her, she is absolutely convinced that two won't fit, even though I can see that they will easily fit if she would move over.

I am definitely skeptical of those people who communicate with animals like that though. Animals do communicate, so you can learn to read their mood and even their intent if you are around them long enough, but as for a deeper level, I don't know about that.
