You still don't seem to get it.
Anosognosia is a psychological phenomenon induced 
by neurological damage. That it effects cats 
identically to humans shows a form of equivalence 
beyond mere 'wiring' in the brain. This is 
neurological data that clearly shows the actual 
thought process involved in seeing, well beyond 
just image projection, that humans have is not 
exclusive to humans. While not demonstrating 
equivalence in suffering it strongly suggest that 
other thought process beyond mere wiring should be 
near equal as well. Especially with regard to 
something as primitive as suffering.

It doesn't prove animals suffer but it strongly 
suggests that higher mammal forms should. 
Dismissing animal suffering as unproven is like 
dismissing climate change as unproven 10 years 
ago. You're clinging to an overly pedantic 
standard of proof and don't seem to want to admit 
to that.

CB; Doesn't a scolded dog's yelping prove that it suffers ?
