When you have 10 months and you hit your head with a hammer you know what pain is, you don't need to conceptualize it. The rats know what pain is and that cats are dangerous, and they are not good in conceptual thinking 

You know what pain is because you’ve labelled the sensation pain. You know the concept pain.

 

Cats and rats never tell themselves they are experiencing pain, there’s just the sensation of pain, there’s just sensation felt by every living organism with a nervous system. Only humans label the sensation pain. Because they put a name to the sensation.

New Movie: A Cat Matrix

Paraphrase from Poimandres (Corpus Hermeticum): "... that which is in the Word is also in ourselves."

Greek Magical Papyri (PGM): "I call upon the Word of the All, that which binds heaven and earth, and let it manifest in the circle."

Plato – Cratylus (439–440): "A name is a likeness of the thing itself; if rightly spoken, it carries the essence of what it names."

Label the pain is label the pain, but knowing the pain is feeling it. Rats know the pain, but they don't label it
