You mentioned "only living being", it's actually a gradient, some animals, like cats in those videos, various breeds of dogs that are child-friendly, cows, horses, and probably more domesticated animals, can develop various feelings (maybe codependency, who knows) for their owners and have desire to protect them when in peril. Yes, me living 100 feet above ground and speaking to you from 10,000 miles through a signal that goes to outer space is very naturey, happens all the time in the tundra. You seem to have some thesis. Is it just that you feel you are smarter than me? If yes, great, do not continue this thread.

Not as a species. Nobody ever said: let's ask what the cat think about it It doesn't matter if a cat thinks he's a duck and raise some ducklings, it's a cat, it will kill many other animals for fun, they don't have anything like we have as a species. Anyway, dogs exists only because we humans created the he way they are We selected them to be agreeable and loyal and human loving they did not exist before we literally invented them > Is it just that you feel you are smarter than me? that could only be true if you think you're dumber than me, because I never said anything that can remotely resemble a comparison of our personal intelligences. Which doesn't even matter much, I could be the dumbest and kindest person in the World.
