A comprehensive list of animals that have passed the mirror test, plus information about the mirror test and its significance in animal cognition research.
I’ve done similar experiments with my two cats. Both behaved mostly like dogs - the mirror doesn’t smell like a cat nor makes noise like a cat, so why bother with it? I was rather surprised with Siegfrieda ignoring it because she tends to watch whatever I put on the computer screen, be it some “cat game” video or even anime.
That lower emphasis on vision became specially obvious when I showed them videos with kittens meowing. They didn’t bother with the screen, but with the speakers.
