It is not because they don't have a calendar
-they do and it is what we call a natural Sat Nav
or an internal clock, and their sense of time is Millenia
older than ours, and actively functional.
Nor is it because as kin they are distant,
though many species thrive with the most minimal of familial values.
No. The reason is that that animals are incapable
of celebrating birthdays is because as such,
those days are human markers of longevity
which exist to hide our side, the sarcasm and secrecy
at the expense of celebrating others
which animals could not dream of copying.
They would intuit how they would suffer
from how toxic such 'family values' would become
long before we do-if we ever became that advanced.
