I have learned that if only a human is open and believing enough to learn communication their way, cats, dogs and all the other animals that have chosen to share their lives with people are eager and happy to communicate with us through telepathy, dreams, senses, pure energy and whatever other means of communication that are natural to them. Some animals have learned not to trust people and are not that open, but, if they live with somebody that is open to any forms of communication, they also perceive it as natural. :)
