Proof that some do.

Not really, not in the abstract tense like us, but it's only human to personificate things around us.

I would say they have some but, not the range that we do. Not all animals the same range either.

I'd say that since feelings are an evolved trait, yes, alot of animals would. but probably not much beyond 'this is good' 'this is scary' 'this is curious' and so on.

Really, our feelings aren't that "evolved"--we just complicate it by making up new words and identifying the sources of our feelings.

This is a useless discussion until you've come to a common consensus on what "feelings" are. Like "intelligence," it's a semantic pit trap that needs to be exposed through an explicit definition before you can discuss it in any serious way.

"All Ball was the pet cat of Koko, the famous gorilla living in Woodside, California, who communicates through sign language. In 1984, before her 12th birthday, Koko asked her trainer for a cat. Koko selected a gray male Manx from a litter of abandoned kittens and named it All Ball. Koko cared for the kitten as if it were a baby gorilla. In December of that same year, All Ball escaped from Koko's cage and was run over and killed by a car.

Later, upon learning that All Ball had gone, Koko communicated with her trainers using the sign language symbols for "cry" and "sad". Researchers noted this fact in the debate over whether non-human species can have human-like emotions. It has been said that Koko cried for two days after the event."
