I guess in that context, I would say spiritual is the sum of mental and emotional. Or maybe, the rational and emotional.
That's what I would think.
If that be the case, animals are spriitual, having mental and emotional properties.
As per the dictionary definition which Granny cited........

2. Of, concerned with, or affecting the soul.
3. Of, from, or relating to God; deific.
4. Of or belonging to a church or religion; sacred.

........there are several ways to define
spiritual.

2. All aspects of the soul, i.e. inner being
3. Pertaining the the spirit of God, i.e. New Testament being born from above by God's spirit indwelling the mind/body of the recipient as per John 3 etc.
