Proof that even big cats are just like pet cats when they spot a strange kitty in the mirror
We’ve all seen plenty of clips of domestic cats reacting to their reflections as though they’ve spotted an intruder. Well, it turns out that big cats want to fight their reflections, too – if this jaguar is anything to go by.
See for yourself.

A tamer version of this is often replayed in front of my dressing table when my Labrador catches a glimpse of his reflection in the full length mirror. Dog becomes tiger. Grrrr https://t.co/wedQPkEPcX

It raised a question.
Don’t they see their reflection in water? https://t.co/xQtArjrOj5
