@Germinator Google AI told me this:
Some evidence suggests that animals can think abstractly, while others argue that they are not capable of abstract thought:
- Evidence of abstract thought
Some animals can group things based on shared traits, classify animals, and recognize pictures of other dogs. For example, dogs can learn to "think back" on cue and repeat actions they haven't been trained to perform. Elephants may also be able to think abstractly, as they use non-imitative sounds to label others.
- Evidence that animals are not capable of abstract thought
Some argue that animals are only capable of thinking about particular things, and that abstract thought is a power of the mind that only humans possess. Others argue that animals may carry out complex behaviors without anticipating the outcomes. For example, cats may experience stress, fear, or anxiety, but they likely won't dwell on those events.
So, this isn't a clear cut discussion. The proper answer is: We don't know.
