Yes, all sentient beings know pleasure and pain to make survival of the fittest possible for them. This is what makes evolution possible wherefore then also the Intelligent Design exists inside the species, and we are basic animal first.
In Catholicism man is basically good and eternal bliss is native to man as created to be. It so is that humans are an add-on to do the dirty work for man as outsider to man as earthly 'human' now. Hu- is from humi- as earthly to make man heavenly as opposite to earthly, if you allow me to make that distinction here, and so our human-ity is where we suffer pain and look for pleasure as outsider to our own self.
So therefore, the Jesus that they crucified was just our ego-consciousness and therefore is the second Adam who is charged to get this job done for us . . . and we just walk away from that and leave him hanging there.
I suppose this is why Jesus could say that he was the Alpha and the Omega which just means that he know himself including his own right where he was Alpha first.
