Are animals force senstive

It is times like theese when animals such as my dog know when the force is swirling around us or when their is a great change within it

You might find this interesting. From Rupert Sheldrake:

The Force resides in all beings, so I would say yes, animals are Force sensitive.

If you take Star Wars Jedi as an example, there are many creatures that are Force sensitive, it just humans. I would imagine it to be the same with animals!

However I believe while animals can be Force sensitive, it could be harder for them to actually learn the ways of the Force or the Jedi. This is partly because they cannot understand us and cannot be taught. I believe it also depends on the intelligence of the animal too, much like it depends on the intelligence of a human wishing to learn the ways of the Force.

However if we were to take an intelligent animal that could understand us, then yes, no difference to a human.

What are you asking exactly?

Animals are often used as "predictors." Horses know when earthquakes are coming, dogs can be trained to see a seizure in advance, and cats are commonly thought to "perceive ghosts." Does that count?

That is less about "prediction" and more about sensitivity. Animals are more likely to be able to see changes/warning signs imperceptible to humans.

Humans are animals.

Yes.

Yes.

But we are animals with a higher level of self-awareness and sentience.

As far as we know anyhow...

How do you come to that conclusion? Star Wars is a fictitious creation so I'm not sure how you can equate that to any sort of real life expression of ability?

This might be opening up a can of worms here, but what about Yoda? :whistle: :laugh:
