I can tell you with great certainty that the cat presently sitting in my lap has feelings. When she's angry, she turns into a total bitch and knows just how to press my wife's buttons :) Example - after getting upset about being put on a diet a while back, she relieved herself in my wife's shoes. My wife handles the feeding. We have 4 cats, two horses, a goat, and a dog. All exhibit behavior that is inexplicable without emotion. I realize that all of these creatures are pretty close to one another in terms of classification, but it wouldn't surprise me a bit if these behaviors existed in creatures more distantly related to our cadre of quadrupeds.
