God did not provide animals with the capability of acting morally or immorally.

That is a special gift to humans.

I think we have the capability of self reflection, and therefore the ability to consider our actions and make moral judgments.

Animals generally do not, but they can know when they have violated authority, and they can exhibit guilt. Most people who have owned dogs understand that.

I am not sure cats have that ability.

On the other hand, humans, under human law, are responsible for the actions of the animals they own.
