Yes, all French cats say le meow. It is known.

Animals have a "language" of sorts. They can certainly communicate with each other.

They don't think, they simply do. Inputs and outputs. Like a computer program.

Language is just a set of symbols.

You think before you assign symbols to said thoughts.

So, you don't think in a language.
Infact, many times you probably failed to find a word to express an emotion or image clearly seen in your thoughts.

Anyone who thinks this has never lived with a pet.

And yet, animals without language are clearly capable of complex thought.

We're biased to think than language is how we think, but that's pretty incorrect. In fact, a good deal of thinking is done long before conscious thought comes about.

I don't think in any language, even when I type. I don't think at all, I realize.

When your hand pulls back from something hot, your head isn't thinking "that's hot, pull your hand away." Your brain sends the raw signal to pull back, and your hand obeys it before your 'inner voice' can kick in. Humans have foresight and the ability to think critically/analytically, which is aided by our ability to 'communicate' with ourselves inside our own head.

Most animals don't do that.

I think the comparison there is DNA rather than a spoken language.
