I think we need to practice with octopuses. They're a totally alien intelligence, but ask researchers who work with them. They have complex relationships and personalities! They're crazy smart and good at solving puzzles. They're totally alien in that our common ancestor is more than twice as far back as the first dinosaurs! So we've got a handful of the same building blocks, but our minds developed totally independently. But we're both intelligent and sentient. I can't wait until one of them learns a form of language that we can understand (presumably with our help). Can you even imagine? I mean, they're so completely different from us in so many ways...but they still exhibit behaviors that suggest beliefs that are at least relatable to our own, even if they're not the exact same!
This book is next on my reading list I think: https://www.amazon.com/Other-Minds-Octopus-Origins-Consciousness-ebook/dp/B01FQRPIIA/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
