Can small children and animals sense psychic abilities?

I know they are supposedly able to see ghosts, so I was wondering if little kids and animals can sense any kind of supernatural powers in a person. It seems that babies always stare at me, and they often smile at me, as well as toddlers always trying to talk to me/liking me as well. And for animals, they seem to like me too. My friend has a cat that is scared of all strangers, and the first time I went to her house, the cat just walked right past me, very close to my legs like it was nothing. So anyway, I was just wondering that, or maybe if they can just read personalities very well. Thanks.

Update:

@HaleyBreeann I've been thinking I do, I recently discovered I can see auras, but they're very faint. I thought maybe this would confirm my suspicions I guess?

    Small children don't possess the cognitive capacity to distinguish between fantasy/dreams and reality. They believe there are monsters under the bed. And have you ever stopped to ask yourself how we could possibly know that animals can sense spirits, if there even are such things? How could we possibly know that, even if it were true? Do you know any English-speaking dogs who can explain that "Yes, I really was barking at an invisible ghost, and not at those kids walking down the street outside the house that you didn't notice." Of course not. It's a silly folk superstition.

    No. Psychic abilities (and ghosts) are imaginary. Babies stare at anything they look at. Also, they have gas. You're imagining more significance to a cat walking past you than exists.

    i have seen animals and children be sensitive to the emotions of others. Psychic abilities, however, have not once been proven as fact
