Perhaps until that moment she thought she was a Scottish Fold? 🙂

Got to love fennec foxes.  In the days when I used to regularly visit the Melbourne Zoo I liked to stop and watch them.  They are cute critters.

There are a few very interesting things about that cat clip.

 

Looking at her she reminds me of a breed called the Burmilla (Chinchilla/Lilac Burmese cross) judging by her coat colours.  Either that or she has some Burmilla or Chinchilla in her ancestry.

 

One thing I've read from some scientists is cats can't recognise their own reflection in mirrors.  I agree that some cats are as thick as, and clearly don't, but not all cats.  I've owned cats that seem to me to recognise themselves in mirrors fairly quickly, judging by the fact that the reflection is not seen as a rival (very important with stud males) and in fact once they figure it out, after a few taps on the glass they aren't much interested.

 

What do you reckon?  Has the cat in the clip worked it out yet?  Maybe...or maybe not, but as her reaction is not aggressive, the penny might drop.
