How many times have you looked at your dog and wondered what the heck is going on in that little mind? How many midnights on Christmas Eve have you spent waiting for that humble ‘meow’ to transform into ‘hey, Dave’? Well, those days are numbered.

Thanks to Jimmy Craig, we now know not only what our pets are thinking, but also what they say to one another. The artist has illustrated all of their communication subtleties for the eye-opening They Can Talk comic series. It turns out that these feline and canine conversations reveal as much about humans as they do about our four-legged friends.

Sit back, relax, and let’s find out the truth you’ve been craving for so many years. Plus, read Bored Panda’s interview with the artist himself on the challenges that come with creating these surreal animal conversations.

Funnily enough, I had to move my cat out of the way to be able to access the touch pad in order to read this comic . . . although I'm having to type around his feet.

    On a serious note though, it's kinda tragic that these dogs can hardly make it in their own....and it's our fault.

    My mum once accidentally put her hand in between our cat's paw and ear which the cat was just about to scratch. The claws got reaaallly deep. Ever since then my mum always scratches the cat's ear very very harshly because apparently, it's what works. And this cat who taught her that in the first place had only three legs so she had real problems to scratch one of the ears and immensely appreciated it... (Sorry, I got a little carried away...memories...)

    Exactly what a friend and I discussed several years ago, when 1.5m of snow on average covered my city and surrounding towns- Look, it looks so.... clean and beautiful. It took about a week to make transportation and other things work, to clean the streets, schools were off, but honestly, the city never looked cleaner. I hate the snow but miss those times.
