    Dogs, cats and rabbits understand the concept of a blanket and usually like to get covered by it when it’s too cold. So I think it’s not far fetched to assume they understand clothes.

      Thank you for including rabbits! My bunnies loves catching on blankets and cuddling. Also as of last night, my leopard geckos also love blankets lol

      My smallest dog is probably the smartest, and he not only understands “covering means warmth” but he also has a favorite throw blanket. Even when they’ve been freshly washed he prefers the flour tortilla patterned blanket, as it’s the warmest.

      And when it gets warmer overnight, he will switch to a cooler blanket.

      Haven’t managed to train him to put his unused blankets away, he just leaves them wherever he dragged it to last.

        Meanwhile, from the dog’s perspective: I still haven’t managed to train my human to leave my blankets where I’ve put them!

        Maybe your dog is just Mexican

      Especially since you can train cats to attack your socked feet if you put them on your hands when you play with them.
