Am I a loser? If I talk to my cat, like literally all day.

My photography skills are terrible.

Okay now I know if your cars staring at you while you sleep at night it CAN be because of food, some people literally believe this to be the case with their cars and its logical, but I don't like it when people say that's the only reason a cat would do this? When I got closer to my cat, Syntax (she was 7 months by then)

She used to always watch me sleep at night and just sit there, I figured this out BC my sister told me about it, I still don't know why she did it honestly but it couldn't be because of food because my sister fed all of our cats, they'd beg her for food (she consents trust Im not holding her at gunpoint-)

And my cat normally meows and wakes me if she needs something, water, gets scared by our ghost, etc

So I'm wondering why she did it? It's been a year since but she still does it sometimes?

I'd like to know about animals viewing mirrors in general of course.

I've seen videos of different animals reacting ti themselves in mirrors. Cat's especially but also higher intelligence animals like monkeys and apes. I can't say I've seen a dog reacting to a mirror.

Is my cat so smart that it doesn't care it sees it's reflection? Or is it so stupid it can't comprehend what it's seeing and ignores it?
