> Of course, a cat is not conscious.

Why do you believe this? I don't like cats, but I wouldn't argue that they're not conscious.

Instead of debating the suitcase word "conscious", let me ask: 1) Do you believe that toddlers are conscious? 2) Is there a more precise way to state your belief that doesn't use the word "conscious"?
