None of my fur kids ever talked to any deceased that I know of, but many years ago when my little terrier Cinnamon went to RB, one of my Lhasas (also now at RB), would stand and stare for long periods of time, at the spot that Cinnamon used to lay the most. She was seeing something that I couldn't, and I believe that most animals are much more sensitive than most humans when it comes to issues such as this.
