I think if you ask her you'll get your answer.Let's move on to Alang's "my feelz are logic!" argument regarding pain, emotions, and thoughts, "all the things which make humans unique in the world" (yeah, nothing poetic and romantic THERE. That's all hard, cold science and fact ). Here's what she has said:

Rare Disease Prevents Georgia Girl From Feeling Pain | health.am
Ashlyn is among a tiny number of people in the world known to have congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, or CIPA - a rare genetic disorder that makes her unable to feel pain.
That’s because the genetic mutation that causes CIPA only disrupts the development of the small nerve fibers that carry sensations of pain, heat and cold to the brain.
She can't feel pain any more than a zygote can. Is she not a child?

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Are you saying that your cat should have the same legal rights as you do? Or are you saying that feeling pain, etc., is nothing special so being human is nothing special?Also, I should point out that humans are NOT unique in being able to feel pain, feel and express emotions, and to think.
