The video of a black cat's reaction, apparently recognizing its own reflection, delights and amazes millions of TikTok users.

Los Angeles (USA) - It is known that only a few animal species can recognize themselves in the mirror, including chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas.

The video of a cat apparently recognizing itself in the mirror surprised many people and caused a stir on the internet, as Landtiere.de shows.*

The video is being shared on TikTok page Jackson Galaxy, who is an expert on cat behavior and welfare.

He captioned the short clip, "Buster here not sure what to make of his own reflection!" It shows a black cat carefully sitting up to see her reflection in a bathroom mirror.

She pushes her ears down in a strange way and tilts her head while looking at herself and seems a little unsure.
