Lady Mildred's Mirror


The above photograph is of Lady Mildred hissing, spitting and growling at her reflection in the mirror. I really don't understand women.

Lovely photo despite the hissing :) My dod has a similar reaction when he sees himself in the mirror. Happy WW

heheh That's hilarious. Women are difficult to understand. You're right. The key is to accept it and simply show your concern for how screwed up we really are. 'Cause, you see, we know we're a mess. And we're angry about it. *snorting* (Rhonda a/k/a Chuck) *Hugs*

I thought that cats CAN"T see themselves in mirrors... clearly an 'old wives tale'!!

Cool shot! Ours is up as well at burntofferings and more at bernies fotoblog.

Have a great WW!!

That cracked me up. Nothing's worse than a witness to self-loathing! Great photo.

Hello Beaman! I hope you are well.

I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but I don't think Lady Mildred's response to the image in the mirror has anything to do with the fact that she is FEMALE (ahem...)at all. In fact, I have personally observed a male cat exhibit the same behavior in the past. I think it has more to do with the fact that yes, they CAN see the reflection in the mirror moving in front of them, but aren't bright enough to realize that it isn't another kitty cat that they are seeing, but THEMSELVES! Perhaps it's some sort of territorial issue? I'm not sure, really. But my sister's cat is male and even growls when he passes by the mirror sometimes!

Fickle felines!

Thank you Sue, Chuck, Bernie, Sandy, Amina, Kate, The Suspect and Kimba for your comments. All are much appreciated.

Kimba, It would be a miracle if a cat ever recognised itself in a mirror. A giant leap forward in evolution. ;)

Oh Papa! How could you? Aggrevating that precious kitty grrrl.

He he. Never happened to my cats yet.

They are quite indifferent to the mirror.

Aw bless Lady Mildred, my male cats often have a look at themselves in the mirror. Does that tell us something as to male behaviour?
