i strongly believe that all animals can "read minds" as well as subtle chemical changes in the air to our scent and even aura in which they pick up on and can learn to interpret into speech.

Me and my former boss both have number synesthesia where by we see numbers as colors. For example, if i think of number 2 it always appears in a green. and even if i try to picture it as a different color, i can but it doesn't feel "right." my boss and i do not share the same colors to numbers though, for example, #9 for me is black and for her it's maroon. We both see 0 as white. and for me double digits are not necessarily a blend of two colors. #33 to me is like a fushia. However #456 is yellow, green, and blue respectively, even though none of those numbers on their own are those colors. it's weird. I can't say if it occurred from watching too much Sesame Street or playing with Fisher Price. I didn't have the fridge numbers when I was a kid only the letters, and letters don't appear to me colors, that and i was missing half the letters.
i'm just a weird person ;)
LOL
