Even if we assume the disadvantage means understanding one's own property is okay but not others'... I had a cat that did understand my property somewhat. When he got upset at me he would pretend to swat at my 2 liter of soda even when it wasn't near me at the time.

I take it as "not understanding the concept of property being a reciprocally transferable thing". You can't participate in a deal like "I want that shiny rock so I will give you this blanket". You can beg for the shiny rock, or take it when nobody is looking or fight the possessor for it, but you can't trade for it
