Whose that in My territory!?!

Cloud discovers a strange animal in the mirror:

Wasn't quick enough to get a really good pic of her going for her reflection, but...

[dandysmom]

Truthfully, can't see her in that pic. But if she did react to herself in a mirror she's the rare cat; most don't recognize themselves. I've had seven cats over the years and my Aby was the only one who reacted to his image ... but caught on very quickly that it wasn't real and paid no attention to it ever again. What a bright little girl she is!! :D

Tim has seen himself in the mirror but never really took any notice, he just looked for about 10 seconds then walked off

He often sees cats in the garden & never reacts to them either

Love your Clouds colouring!

[Squirrel]

Think she just sees movement and immediately turns to see what's happening, then sees more movement, and wants to know if it's a threat or not... Or something to pounce on! But when it goes still she looses interest.

[calismum]

Wee soul, imagine she'll have great fun if she continues to react.

We have mirror backed cabinets and Izzi walked past, noticed the other cat, stopped dead in her tracks, stared for ages and then walked off without a backward glance.

This is possibly a better example of the kind of interest Cloud has in her reflection right now... She'd just pounced at the mirror in this vid a few minutes before, and was still sufficiently interested in checking it out when I set her on track again...

It's a very interesting behaviour and is meant to indicate a consciousness above average for a mammal, other than a primate - you've got a clever little cat there. Wonder if her interest will continue?
