They say that animal brains are incapable of fully understanding two dimensional images. Something about the development of higher cognizance or something like that. Apparently, that rule applies to cats and their little memory walnuts have a hard time discerning that two dimensional objects are in and of this world.
Since cats are natural born predators, they are inherently prone to be more intrigued and receptive, especially when it comes to optical illusions, quick movements, and of course, potential threats. So what happens when a kitty, a creature with near surgical precision when it comes to hunting instincts, meets THEMSELVES in a reflection.
Multiverse time.
