  A cat being aware that he is looking at himself, that’s very unusual.

    I thought things like mirror tests don’t work on cats, because they are such assholes they actively sabotage such experiments. For a time it was even thought cats were very dumb, but later tests have shown them to be actually very smart.

      I heard a pet behaviorist explain the mirror test for roosters/chickens had to be designed with consideration for them being social animals. They found when putting a mirror without other chickens around, the roosters wouldn’t crow when a predator was flying overhead. Yet, with other chickens there, they did

      Gotta know how to design the test, essentially

      Wasn’t there some study with changed methodology lately, showing that chickens are self-aware?

    “Michi” is Quechua for “cat” so I guess this person is mixing languages?
