Perhaps it would be helpful if you could define "feeling". I have seen a lot of things that made me wonder. I have a turtle right now that will answer to her name and will do begging behaviors that she made up to get food. I realize that her brain is tiny, and reptilian, but anyone can call out her name, nothing to do with scent, and she will turn around and look to see why she is being called. She does not answer to just any name, only hers. She expresses excitement and anticipation when she is hungry and I am getting her food ready. I am sure that it is not all reflex. I have never even considered behavior modification, she just does these things. And a lot more. So in the end, who knows. I just err on the safe side and treat her like she means it and we both seem happy. But then I may have to have you define "happy" for me as well.
