I wonder if you put a mirror outside of a window they're used to looking through, if they're unfamiliar with mirrors, how they would respond to it like that. My cat was a stray that came looking for help, and got adopted into the home. He used to be freaked out by TV for a while. If it was a bird or something he would charge at it and get into hunt mode, but if it was a dog or something he didn't like, he would hiss and growl and hide. Eventually he accepted that there's nothing actually there. But what's interesting is how they respond to things that don't fit their understanding of the world or go against it, like how lions don't attack on safaris as long as you remain in the vehicle.
@@glorigargoglou there is only one cat. what he is seeing is a reflection of himself. he thinks there is another cat and is trying to figure out why it is matching his every move. he then is starting to make sense of it realizing it is his own reflection in the mirror. No joke. 😌
It is highly unusual for a cat to interact with a mirror like that. It must be a particularly intelligent cat. Most cats will either ignore their reflection or be momentarily startled by the image of what they percieve as another cat. But without the smell they usually lose interest quickly. This cat appears to be actually contemplating its own image. Very cool. Whoever owns this kitty has a very special friend indeed. 😊❤🐈⬛
I had a cat who understood mirrors, there was a fireplace downstairs and the glass panel was reflective, when i'd come down he'd look at me and make eye contact through the glass reflection and then turn around. An extremely sweet cat he was very chill and loved to be held.
My cats have been like that too. When someone was facing the bathroom mirror & I did something, like hold their comb, they would turn their head towards me & the comb to get a better look, an affirmative, you're getting "brushed," which they liked. That's just one example. None of them ever seemed to be otherwise reactive to the mirror. They just seemed know it was a replication of real life. Likewise, if I came into a mirrored room & they saw me in that mirror, they'd turn around to greet me. I believe that, just like with humans, their intelligence is on a continuum. Some have it, some don't, & some will.
You both should smoke less straw. A cat basically turns it attention to anything that moves by pure instinct. Guess what, a moving mirror reflection turns a cats attention to that mirror. When I hear you two I have to ask my self who is more dumb, the cats or their owners.
@@hrvat7770 They have literally done studies on the ability to understand reflections in animals and found that some cats are capable of understanding it and some are not, you can be dismissive and rude for no reason but it's not like you actually know what you are talking about enough to warrant that.

Interesting. But recognizing someone else in a mirror is a less sophisticated skill than recognizing yourself. Cats can't recognize themselves. Then only know that mirrors are strange surfaces that show images of other cats, humans and others.
That is so cool. You can actually see him learning. Grasping the concept of a mirror. That's a smart cat. Doesn't panic. Just keeps testing and learning.
Yep, as I recall the Mirror Test is a common way to test an animal's intelligence, with the cannier animals realizing that they're essentially seeing themselves in the reflection. It's one of the fundamentals signs of self-awareness.
My cat Freebea knew what a mirror was from a very young age, she would sit in front of one and groom herself making sure there was not a peice of fur out of place. I really miss her she passed at eighteen and a half that was nearly 15 years ago now.
I had a similar cat, whenever she had a bath, after she groomed herself dry she would go to the mirror and check herself out from all angles, it was too cute.
Yeah he told me I was stupid made me cry and said that it wasn't possible for a cat to understand it's reflection in a mirror. But I wasn't lying it was the truth. This happens a lot . Pluss animals are totally capable of higher thinking in certain situations and certain animals with same reality. and on top of that each animal is an individual not all animals are blessed with the same amount of intelligence just like not all people are smart either but I wasn't being stupid it was real my animal new itself in the mirror that is cognitive thinking. Proving are 100% capable of higher thought processes. And it is on an individual account each animal has a personality anybody who doesn't like it poop on U.
@@undertyped1 Domesticated cats are on a tipping point. Some can recognize themself, and some don't. Wild cats generally don't, as cats as a species aren't smart enough, and never needed such intelligence. Cats had to make sacrifices on their skull to accomodate stronger biting mucles, and their skull is designed to be strong and hold those muscles. But such adaptations leave less room for brainy matter. Domesticated cats on the other hand need to survive in our complicated envrioment, and appearently are evolving to get that little bit extra 'oumph' in their skulls. And since we feed them, they get away with having less biting power. Or at least they don't hunt things as big or bigger than themself, and have an easier life.
I had a cat whom I swear could recognize himself in the mirror. He was never interested in his reflection except when he came back from outside and had black smudges on his face. Then he'd stop in front of the mirror and just look at himself. This cat also taught himself to use the human toilet within a week of living with me. Wildly intelligent.
Technically, they do. But usually takes them time to realize its their own reflection because cats are territorial animals by nature. Their first instinct at seeing themselves in the mirror is that it is another cat that has inveded their territory. Over time, they will realize its their own reflection, and eventually they stop paying attention to mirrors alltogether.

One of my cats would sit on top of the dining room cabinet looking in the mirror to watch me in the kitchen. When I’d wave at her she’d turn around and look at me.
@@clairecarscallen2925 - It sounds like both your cat and the OP’s cat understood what a mirror does, which is pretty impressive! I adopted older cats, who are now senior citizens. I doubt they want intellectual challenges - just yummy food and nice pets.
@@thetooginator153 I really cannot comprehend how a cat can figure out the physics of a mirror, especially on first encounter with one! I've had many long lived cats and always was a multi cat household, and found that every cat was very different from any other.
The cats and dogs know reflection for example from puddles of water on the ground. The difference between cats , may be inlfuented by how many ancestors were domesticated sooner/later . Not every cat on the video, comes from a tidy lineage, some could be found stray
The final reassurance that it was himself in the mirror was when he looked to his left in the mirror and then looked at the same exact spot right behind him.
This is such an interesting video. You can see how intelligent the cat is: it's confronted by an unusual experience, and it's trying its hardest to test it out, and it's putting its paws up on the glass to test the reality of the situation.
Love that final little check, when the cat is looking away from the mirror. Then, very subtly, it slowly turns its head to see if it can catch its reflection goofing off.
My cat is super intelligent, he uses the mirror to enable him to see areas of the room that he normally can't see. I usually mess with him by playing around behind his head, whilst he is looking at the mirror, and he knows spatially, that its me and where my hands / toys are via the reflection.
@@0MoTheG What? I run a whole barrage of tests on my cat for fun. The mirror thing is kinda old for me right now. He's so used to it, he actually prefers looking at the room via the mirror to see what's behind him. I do mess around with him, trying to pretend the "me" in the mirror is a different person, but he can always tell. So yeah no, your observation, or guestimation there is incorrect. Some cats are pretty stupid though, so its not like every cat can do what mine can tbh. And I've had about 3 cats in my lifetime, and this one is the only one that is smart enough to do this.

I've been around lots of cats and he is the first I've ever seen act like that in front of a mirror. He knows it's himself. You have a remarkably smart cat. He probably understands what you say to him.
Yay! I thought my cat was broken. Some cat's do understand their reflection. My cat Boo did the first time I showed her my closet mirror. She never acted like it was another cat. She even investigated her teeth and ears, she also tried to brush her hair with her paw. Cat's are as smart as two year old children. My Boo even knows Spanish, French, Garmin and a little Dutch. She sits on command without treat's. I think she thinks cuddling and booping my nose is a treat. I don't know. She also protected me from an intruder once. She jumped at the dude's face and growled like a monster. He ran out and left with bloody neck and hands. She was like a kitty ninja, knight of the furbabies defender of the apartment complex. 👍❤️ That's my Boo baby. I do believe some cat's make emotional attachments to certain people they trust. That's why we occasionally hear about how a cat protected it's family.
You should test that in front of scientists if is true it would be a great discovery and discussion theme, but I doubt is true what you are saying after all a cat looking themselves for the first time in a mirror they will think is another cat or simply ignore it, do you know that baby humans start to recognize themselves 15 to 25 months after being born same goes with elephants, dolphins start recognizing themselves 7 months after being born but cats and dogs never passed this test no matter how many times this test was done 😅 so if you can prove that pls do
Years ago I had a cat who would use the mirror to play/stalk me while I was behind him. I do wonder if, since he knew the reflection was me and where it said I was, whether he had figured out what the mirror was showing when he saw a cat. (Alas, he has been gone for a decade. Only cat I ever had who showed an interest in manipulating his environment for purely aesthetic reasons - he would move decorative and fragrant items around until he liked their positioning. Just try telling an interior decorator that is not "art." Wish we had had Fluent Pet buttons back then.)
Imagine if we humans approached life with this level of wonderment and curiosity. The thing that fascinates me is that he's staring directly into the eyes of his reflection, not just looking at the "other" cat's body. I would love to know what he's thinking. Gorgeous cat.
I actually thought it was feeling threatened of the cat in the mirror near the end & that it was going to strike out. Then it all of a sudden came to the realization that it wasn't a foe, but rather himself. 💡 That was a golden moment to behold.
I had a cat many years ago who had a gorgeous tail and gorgeous coat and she was simply beautiful. And, she most certainly understood that the cat in the mirror was her reflection, and when she needed to preen parts of herself that she couldn't see easily, she would jump on my dresser and sit in front of the mirror so that she could see to clean her face and her head.

Yay! I thought my cat was broken. Some cat's do understand their reflection. My cat Boo did the first time I showed her my closet mirror. She never acted like it was another cat. She even investigated her teeth and ears, she also tried to brush her hair with her paw. Cat's are as smart as two year old children. My Boo even knows Spanish, French, Garmin and a little Dutch. She sits on command without treat's. I think she thinks cuddling and booping my nose is a treat. I don't know. She also protected me from an intruder once. She jumped at the dude's face and growled like a monster. He ran out and left with bloody neck and hands. She was like a kitty ninja, knight of the furbabies defender of the apartment complex. 👍❤️ That's my Boo baby. I do believe some cat's make emotional attachments to certain people they trust. That's why we occasionally hear about how a cat protected it's family.
You should test that in front of scientists if is true it would be a great discovery and discussion theme, but I doubt is true what you are saying after all a cat looking themselves for the first time in a mirror they will think is another cat or simply ignore it, do you know that baby humans start to recognize themselves 15 to 25 months after being born same goes with elephants, dolphins start recognizing themselves 7 months after being born but cats and dogs never passed this test no matter how many times this test was done 😅 so if you can prove that pls do
Years ago I had a cat who would use the mirror to play/stalk me while I was behind him. I do wonder if, since he knew the reflection was me and where it said I was, whether he had figured out what the mirror was showing when he saw a cat.
(Alas, he has been gone for a decade. Only cat I ever had who showed an interest in manipulating his environment for purely aesthetic reasons - he would move decorative and fragrant items around until he liked their positioning. Just try telling an interior decorator that is not "art." Wish we had had Fluent Pet buttons back then.)
"i thought my cat was broken" lmao
emotional attachments ? no doubt they have.
Yeah my cat also was never impressed by mirrors, don't know why
I like how he try different gesture and examine his thoughts
Imagine if we humans approached life with this level of wonderment and curiosity. The thing that fascinates me is that he's staring directly into the eyes of his reflection, not just looking at the "other" cat's body. I would love to know what he's thinking. Gorgeous cat.
I actually thought it was feeling threatened of the cat in the mirror near the end & that it was going to strike out. Then it all of a sudden came to the realization that it wasn't a foe, but rather himself. 💡 That was a golden moment to behold.
I had a cat many years ago who had a gorgeous tail and gorgeous coat and she was simply beautiful.
And, she most certainly understood that the cat in the mirror was her reflection, and when she needed to preen parts of herself that she couldn't see easily, she would jump on my dresser and sit in front of the mirror so that she could see to clean her face and her head.
Какой славный, добродушный котейко.
Большинство его сородичей зеркало пытаются напугать. А этот, просто доверчивая милота. Вообще, чёрно-белые кошки, по моему наблюдению, самые контактные и доброжелательные.
Славный котофей.
Нет
Все мои кошки игнорировали отражение, вообще ни какого интереса.
@@IvanIvanouvу тебя тупые кошки, в хозяина.
Pravda. Black and white cats .. vary good often.
I was entranced by the dance..so free flowing 😅😅
I feel like every cat owner has shown a mirror to their cat at least once
Good kitty.
I loved how he stood up and the paws matched
My cat when she adopted us already knew her reflection. Plus loads of other things. She was one awesome cat...
Very smart cat most cats would just hiss that themselves in the mirror thinking it's another cat you have a very smart and unique cat 😸
Appreciate it bro! MTV ridiculousness asked me for the footage...random
Many more cats than you think actually recognize themselves. Most cats I've known realize, even many kittens.
@@jkjk8 that's awesome I love cats always have always will
@@jkjk8 strangely my cats can use
a mirror to look at me and meow, but i don't think they can recognize themselves
@@jkjk8 hasn’t been proven and scientists have experimented this with many cats of different races they are not self aware
So cute and so smart
This is just the most cutest sweetest thing ever that someone could see in a 🐈 video. There's nothing cuter than this
Tuxedos are awesome cats! Incredibly smart! I miss my BIG guy lots!
This cat's white fur is as white as white gets. Beautiful markings.
Evolution. It’s happening!
Stop them, quick!!
This made me smile and cheered my day. So sweet and adorable 🥰
He says..Well Hellllooo Handsome! 😅 He is adorable ❤
Proof that cats make good scientists! That made my day!
What a beautiful cat❤️
Cat does wonderful interpretation of the mirror scene from Duck Soup🥸
Absolument adorable ❤❤
What amazing cognizance!! Joy to watch😊
0:44 looks like they’re trying to one up on each other, see who is taller 😂 gorgeous cat by the way.
Haha yes!
He knows and appreciates what he sees, any single detail of himself. Cutie❣😻😊
What a chill cat . Love it
He or she was discovering reflections, subtlety. “ Is this me or what”? Lol that’s why the cat was moving slow.
Never ever have i seen two cats in synch before. Impressive!
What a lovely cat x
Wow alright, what a great display of intelligence from this cat!
I adore this cat!
Oh man! The time when people realized their reflection in water is when the real evolution began!
