by that argument its very unlikely they meet that criteria. Feeling != automatic response to stimuli, with that you could argue a light switch is sentient.
Sentience very likely is an emergent property of complex interactions that are unlikely to arise from the simplicity of single cellular life.

And ultimately sentience is a really vague poorly defined term which makes any answer difficult.
