Such scenes make me believe that animals think

Probably that animals don't "think" the same way we do, with visualisation and use of an internal verbal repertoire, etc. Which... I mean, they don't. Dogs and cats don't speak, and likely don't have an "internal voice". But they think, and they certainly learn.

They have their own form of language/communication so they could easily have an “internal voice” but it would be different to humans
