Cats understand the concept of reflections and representations. From the cat's perspective, they are looking at a smartphone screen. They see themselves and their owners on the screen via selfie cam. They don't think "that's another cat and person, not me". They don't think it's an unparseable and irrelevant 2d image. When the feline "face filter" is turned on, the cats are shocked and physically look up at their owners, because they know the person on the screen is them, and they want to see what the fuck just happened.
>>16871624Okay, thanks for the explanation. I would of never figured this out from watching the webm.
>>16871624The video is ai. It doesn't prove whatever you think it does. A lot of funny animal videos doing same things are ai nowadays.
>>16871992You're an idiot.
>>16871996I admit I was wrong. The main thing I based my assumption on was the badge at 0:43 which is mirrored now that I look at it again, plus the funny animal succession. Doesn't disprove it being ai but there are no obvious giveaways that I see.
>>16871992This video is fucking old
>>16872013>>16871992ironically the video does use AI but neither of you retards understands how or why
>>16871996*your'
>>16871624Yeah my cat uses mirrors and reflections to keep an eye on me when I'm not in the same room as him. Also this video makes me jealous, I wish my cat were this loving and tolerant. He usually won't let me any closer than literal arms length distance at best. If i ever try approaching him any closer he will move away. And he absolutely hates being picked up. Only if I catch him off guard and then he doesn't tolerate it and will try to jump out of my arms instantly.
>>16872203How old was the cat when you got him? Cats need to get used to being handled a lot at an EXTREMELY young age, like literally the first weeks after they're born for them to be comfortable with it. Cats have their own personalities but if he was under socialized as a kitten there's nothing to be done about it, it's too late
>>16871624It's a skit. The cat is well known on the Tik Toks.
>>16872203Maybe stop assaulting your cat.
>>16871624my cats seem to not see mirrors. they rarely look at what is in them, and don't react at all to their own reflection.
>>16872208>How old was the cat when you got him?A little over a year. I know nothing about the first year of his life other than he was in a shelter when I got him and they got him from another shelter about 2 or 3 weeks before. To be honest I'm surprised he came as far as he did, he seemed legitimately feral or semi-feral for a long time so I guess maybe I hit the limit on how friendly he will become in life.>>16872213I usually just leave him alone unless he approaches me first but I had an important reason for picking him up randomly. I wanted him to get accustomed to it as soon as possible because there are times when I *need* to be able to. Such as getting him to the vet, or in the case of an emergency, etc.
It gets even fuckier when you realize that cats perceive our faces through a cat-like filter already, so those filters are TURBO uncanny valley for them because their brain is filtering it to look even more near-cat-but-not-quite than we humans perceive.
