Thanks for the kitty cat story.
As for your definition of cognitive thought, I would have to disagree.
Kitty cats can play with squirrels without having to have any 'language'.
But 'cognitive thought' is light-years beyond playing with squirrels.
Do you have any other source for your statement? A book, perhaps, that explains how 'cognitive thought' could occur without languaging?
