A difference of degree rather than kind refers to the relationship between a calculator and a computer, a sparrow and an eagle. There is certainly a broad range of sensory ability in life. There is also a broad commonality of biological structure and correlative function. I'm referring to conscious perception as it's own kind, not the contents. Contents would be degrees. A cat sees more than we do, but we both see. That, in itself, is a bvoundary condition of consciousness. All conscious creatures are aware of what their specific sensory apparatus provides. Differences in that apparatus will provide for differences in the content of consciousness - but two being with seperate contents can both be conscious. This is certainly true of our experience, of experience. We don;t see what a bast sees, or smell what a dog smells. Sense isn't a level playing field, but we have advantages as well.
None of us imagines that our conscious content is identical, human to human. This is not a valid objection to non-human cognition.
(Not familiar with IIT. AST is more my jam. I'll look it up.)
