I know when cats first see themselves in a mirror they think it's another cat, but at some point lose interest in that 'other' cat. Do they come to realize it's really themselves they're seeing? If they do, would they recognize themselves in a picture?

If not...I wonder what she thinks you're doing when taking her picture.

I looked it up, they CAN recognize themselves...to me, that means they could recognize themselves in a picture too.

To help our cat understand that the cat in the mirror is them, we can look in the mirror with the cat. This creates a link in the cat’s mind.

After all, our cat knows who we are, and that there is only one of us. While the cat has learned that they can ignore the cat in the mirror, they cannot ignore us.

By talking to the cat in the mirror, our cat can more easily observe how our movements are mimicked in the mirror. Then they begin to grasp what the mirror does.

Lilli has always known it is her in the mirror, this is actually a sign of intelligence in Animals.

My old cat was the same.

She does! And my favourite story from this thread was her reaction when Lion came back from vacation and how she acted at home afterwards. Good stuff!!!
