This video of a cat trying to interact with its own reflection is very cute – but there’s a twist
Cats and mirrors have provided the internet with hundreds of hours of mindless amusement – at least – and this clip isn’t much different to any of the ones that have gone before. Or is it?

Of course, the original version lacks the twist at the end, but it’s still kind of endearing – if you like cats.
