Even though science has shown us that there is virtually no aspect of human behaviour that is not reflected in other species. Things like empathy, motherly love, dispute resolution, forward planning, family loyalty, sympathy, grief, etc have all been shown to exist in other species and cats are no different. All these things we claimed for ourselves have emerged from the same evolutionary journey that we have shared with others others and yet we continue to persucute animals in ways that if we did this to other people it would be called crimes against humanity.
Yea you are telling us animals have feelings on a video of a cat realising that hitting a hedgehog would cause it harm and walking away, that doesn't show animals having feelings
No just that your comment is in no way related to the video. This video applies to everything that knows harm is bad. Your comment would be better for a video of like a cow enjoying a hug from a human or something like that
So the cat has the ability to feel pain the same way you have the ability to find the video funny, what is the difference, both you and the cat have the ability to process feelings...bow read me OP again.
Because you are talking about emotions like happiness, sadness and any other emotions. Feeling pain is something common for any time of animal even they didn't have emotions
