It's not because they're hurt, a good percentage of the time, but actaully expressing other emotions.

Dogs have various reasons as to why they whine. They may whine to express:

1. Anxiety

2.Pain

3. For attention

4. In excitement (such as chasing squirrels and rabbits).

What does it mean if your dog is whining when you put him in his kennel?

When your dog whines when you put him straight in his kennel it means that he doesn't want to go in there, that he wants to come out and play or something. But if it's been a while since you've put your dog in his kennel it means he misses you or he needs to go use the bathroom.


Your dog keeps whining he has water food and went to the restroom what does he want?

What kind of behavior will your dog show if he wants to eat your new kitten will he also lick her a lot and whine when he looks at her?

The behavior you describe does not make me think that you dog wants to eat your kitten. Typically if a dog is going to kill a cat and they get that close it would be a done deal. They don't usually mess around with licking.
