Wow. Really? He can't recognize a basic "dog" / "cat" etc? Are you sure?
Depends on what you mean by "basic" -- There is a demonstration that
classifies extremely simplified line drawings, which include dog and
cat.
Here's a document about it:

The prototype dog has a neck and legs, but the prototype cat has neither.
Both
consist of 10 or so lines.
The point as I understand it has more to do with shift, scale, and other
invariances
than the inherent catness or dogness of the line drawings.
Hawkins's work is pretty interesting but it's a ways away from being
impressive yet IMO.
