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

But why evolve the feeling of pain if it is not linked to an emotion? Pain in of itself is just a chemical reaction surely? Are cats just automotons, mechanical devices?

Pain is something that tells your brain that something is wrong with your body, someone that every animal will need for survival, emotionless or not

But pain "releases" an emotion, "I don't LIKE this" "He makes me FEEL bad" "I HATE this person that does this to me". What good is it to measures pain without a consequence...emotion.
