@DarkELfBG4ever You have to show them their reflection as kittens. I put a mirror down for my cat, when he was young, and he finally took to playing with himself in the mirror. Usually when he has his daily "spaz out" if I leave a mirror down he'll play by running towards it. But isn't being aggressive with it. He's actually playing. BTW, buy a stuffed lion or tiger about the same size/bigger than cat LOL. Depending on personality, they'll freak out or "lay" against it after getting used to it.

@CarpathianCarl really interesting facts:D right now, though, my cat (6-7 years old) isn't in the house, she stays in the garden. (she wouldn't stay inside, she's a "free" cat:D) in 1-2 years from now when i'm gonna move in a house on my own, i'm gonna get one and i'm gonna try these:D
@DarkELfBG4ever Also, it might take awhile as they usually "avoid" eye contact with the reflection. I'd sit behind him, making sure he'd look in the mirror. He'd follow my finger's reflection. Other times wait til he was around a corner, than position the mirror to "appear" as another cat "hiding" around a corner. Also, with the mirror in front of him/her, try angling it at different angles as it'll appear the cat is in the floor, and they tend to get curious.
@DarkELfBG4ever I've noticed that my cat can be trained by "making him" do something. When I bought his scratch post (about 2 months old), I'd hold his front legs while sitting behind him, and make him scratch at the post. Even taught him to "grab" the post (like putting your hands on each side of someone's shoulders) Surprisingly he caught on quickly. He'll only scratch the post and not any furniture as well. Same idea with the mirror. If he ignores it, sit with him and "puppet" him and see.
Cat:oh hey look a new kitten ill just go around this evil contraption. Person: tehe. Cat:wait what where is he if I take a step to left I see him but when I take a step to the right and look left I don't see him wait he must be flat or 2D. Person: tehe. Cat: you idiot. Person: tehe.
@MarisaDiaz321 but dogs are funnier, cause if you hold them over water (any water at all) they will go into automatic swim mode. they get this weird look on thier faces and just start paddling. it's hillarious
Quite a smart kitten, it successfully deduced that the back and front of the mirror are parts of the same object despite looking different as evidenced by its attempts to look behind the mirror whenever it confirmed the 'other' cat was still present on the reflective side. Most 3-month old humans can't master object integration, guess kittens evolve spatial abilities at a different rate.
Seems like a really smart kitteh, I've watched a bunch of other videos and it seems like most cats want to fight their mirror image, this one's just curious and trying to figure it out :V I love the parts where it pokes its head around the mirror and gets all confused xD
it's funny to see all these video's because it shows that cat's do discover it's them in the mirror, but after about 1 to 3 second forgets it and discovers it again and again (like a goldfish in a bowl)
cats and dogs aren't completely stupid they just lack complex short term memory.
She is soo cute. She wants to find second cat near mirror, and looks so surprised, when understands, that there is no another cat, so fun.
All kittens in sush age like to play (or to fight) with mirrors and "another kitten", but big cats don't do it, they are too serious for such childish play, and my cats don't play it anymore too.
At the end of the day guys, it's a kitten. It may not understand the concept of a mirror, but eventually it will get used to the idea, my cat is 8 years old now and walks past the mirror everyday without concern, I think she eventually understood what it is, as she can see me in the mirror too! Cats are still quite smart considering we have words to listen too as a cat cant understand anything but their name :)
@swiftalbero They do have a sense of self. They don't understand mirrors. if you were dropped into the 4th dimension you wouldnt lose your sense of self, you just wouldnt know where you were. Not understanding concepts doesnt mean you dont have a sense of self.
I just assumed the cat would understand that the mirror was a reflection, but if he didn't understand the concept of a mirror then I guess you're right, and it has nothing to do with a sense of self.
@swiftalbero It's cool. Imagine you go your whole life exactly as you have, except never having seen your self, your reflection. then one day you step in front of a mirror. You would act a lot like this cat. ;)
very cute kitten! I had one once that walked up on a mirror set at a geater angle than that, and it freaked her out so much she went weak in the legs and sagged backward from the mirror like she was afraid she was falling into the space she saw! I wish they could keep that kittenish quality their entire life.
Wow, you're cat must be really intelligent! Instead of freaking out the moment it saw its reflection, it tried to investigate it first. Very cool. And still cute. :)
I think its because kitten brain isent developed enough to have the visual acuity and sense of self awareness similar to how human babies go through stages of cognative development.
My cat used to do that when he was a kitten, but he doesn't anymore. In fact he was in the bathroom a few weeks ago and I picked him up and put him on the counter, and he looked at his reflection and then he looked at me like "Yeah? So?"
at start he was hipnostised ^_^ im a bad speller and at end oh noes its time quick i9 have to find him before swartsen mega what ever finds him and keeps saying alabester baby ^_^ funny vid
