Don't be cowardly!

Come up and do it!

Ha~ (violent)

Cat: Why is this guy's style of demonstration the same as mine? ? ?

Come on, let's hurt each other

Where are you from!

Can cats recognize themselves in the mirror?

In 1970, the scientist Gordon Gallup did a "mirror test", in which an odorless paint was painted on the animal's head to test whether various animals reacted to the color mark in front of the mirror to judge Can animals recognize themselves, whether they have self-awareness.

As a result, the cat is completely unaware that it is itself in the mirror.

Therefore, the cat's surprise, aggression, or some antics when facing the mirror are just its reaction to thinking that the one in the mirror is another cat. But the cat in the mirror has no smell. It is an important part for the cat to recognize the smell of the object, so the cat will not be interested in the mirror for too long.
