I’m pretty sure grown cats recognize their reflections, only kittens mistake them for other cats, it’s adorable seeing a kitten try to look around the mirror to see the other kitten behind it.
Only humans apes and one species of small fish possess a sense of self and recognize themselves in a mirror. Other animals fear, fight or ignore their reflection.

My cat’s completely ignore mirrors. They don’t react to their image – they seem to act no different than they would to a blank wall.
I assume it’s because the mirror image has no scent, but it still seems weird to me.
