AFAIK both dogs and cats recognize pointing. Dogs will look in that direction, as if you gave them a command. Cats also realize you’re pointing at something in order to get their attention, they just don’t give a shit and will keep doing whatever they’re doing.

this isnt entirely true. cats are terrible at taking direction but it is possible to direct them. i’ve done it when my cat brought a live mouse inside and we had to hunt it as a team to corral it.
