[Craig] If both cats come at the same side, they each eat from one side. Whenever one cat comes alone, she eats all of one side & leaves the other side.*** To me, this kind of reciprocal behavior is evidence of self-/other- consciousness, but I don't find it "socially negotiated symbolic activity".
[Arlo] And I don't find it evidence of self-consciousness. Though they are sensitive to where there biological ends are (they know the couch they are sleeping on is "not them") neither cat has a concept of "self" as "who am i?" Would you say, for example, if your cat's are "self-conscious", that this differs from your "self-consciousness"? How? What's the same? What's different? [Craig] I think such "Aha!" moments are rare. [Arlo] As do I.
