Wendy Our animals certainly know when we are unhappy and worried which we generally are when they are sick. I think the most important thing is that you are just honest with them and relaxed - tell cricket how you are feeling and that you may cry because you care etc... I'm sure one day you will experience communication. I think it depends on the animal too but don't give up. Thanks for the wensite link - I'll have a look at that.
