It is possible and not right to elminiate the thought process from animals altogether.
In philosophical terminology, abstraction is the thought process wherein ideas are distanced from objects.

The first symbols of abstract thinking in humans can be traced to fossils dating between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago in Africa.

Humans have around 95% of the same genes as monkeys. Perhaps this animal can display that behavior.
