*sapient. If it were merely sentient it could sense the bodily waste, but would be incapable of feeling any way about it.

This is a rare case where sentient is being used correctly. Sentient beings do have feelings, e.g. dogs and cats are sentient and can have cravings and even feel hate.

Sapient means having enough intellect to understand and reason about the situation. The post doesn't actually require that.

Kind of a grey area, so I'll allow it.
