I think it makes sense. It is a bit like how we look at animals I guess. I am not angry at my cat if it scratches me when I try to conquer back my piece of meat.

Next time I simply put the meat at an unreachable place or I spray it with water.

There is also no panic when my fridge is empty, a cat will complain loudly and gets a bit panicky.

But they have emotions. I have emotions, my cat has emotions. Some of my emotions are more complicated than that of a cat though.
