I know that you have no doubt that your pet, dog or cat, is a conscious animal, that is, one that realizes things that happen and has thoughts that imply predictions, desires and intentions. They know, for example, when you arrive home or when you are going to give them food. However, imagining ourselves inside their mind to know what it is like to be a dog or a cat is as impossible as imagining ourselves in the mind of any other person, because the main and most genuine characteristic of consciousness, including that of animals, is subjectivity. : my consciousness is mine, only mine, yours is yours, only yours.
