Cats Are Evolving: Amazing Cat Video Shows Cute Kitty Recognizing His Own Ears In The Mirror And Gaining Self-Awareness (Pictures & Video)

Do sometimes think your cat is a human trapped in a cat's body? Does your cat ever have moments of genius where you say to yourself, "They're smarter than we give them credit for."? Well, your cat is not alone! As the world changes around us, so is everything in it. Elephants are learning to stop trucks carrying sugar cane in Thailand, and cats are starting to become self-aware (it's curtains on humanity, soon).

This playful kitty sees his ears in a mirror, and checks them out, confused. He stands on his hind legs to get a better view of himself in the mirror and starts to play with his own cute, adorable ears. Not surprisingly, his reflection does the same. You can see the change in his face as he begins to understand that the ears he's feeling are the same ears he sees in the mirror. It's quite incredible to watch. Have you ever seen your kitty recognize himself? Is mankind doomed once cats become self-aware?
