I’m in a long distance relationship. When i’m with my boyfriend his cat is the most loving and affectionate animal i’ve ever met in my life. She loves me more than him. To the point where she cries if she isn’t allowed to sit on the bed when i play xbox.
On facetime she keeps showing me her butt.
She think the one on the screen it’s your evil twin.
Cats turning their back to you is a sign of trust!

But why male models?
Are you sure that’s not your lawyer?
“Love you machine hooman, I hope it’s not scawy in the Matwix”
If sound like friend, why smell like machine??
“Mother of God… what black magic sorcery is this?..”
What sorcery is this hooman… Why did you go and make yourself stuck inside the damn box…
Heh like I care… More room for me

The cat is looking directly into the camera, not the screen. She’s probably looking at the UV (or was it IR) light that the camera produces.
iirc there was a study. The smarter animals can’t process the images on a screen.
My budgie is BFFs with his reflection, as you’d expect. He loves me, but shows no reaction to my reflection. He is usually happy enough to make friends with other people, and he can tell me apart from others.
But he never shows any reaction to my reflection, only his own. If we both stand by the mirror, he’ll tell his mirror friend about his day, he’ll tell my actual hand or nose, but it’s like he can’t even see the reflection of my hand. It’s weird.
My previous dog would sometimes startle himself for a second, like, “SHIT!! DOG IN THE HOUSE- oh, that’s right…”
My new dog figured out the mirror almost immediately and uses it to watch me without having to get up. He’ll turn around or come over if I signal for him through the reflection, knowing exactly what’s going on. He also likes being held up to see us both in the reflection and will turn and lick me, then turn back to keep looking at us. I think it’s like seeing a portrait of us together and he admires it.
He doesn’t usually look at himself for long, but I’ve seen him clean morning goop from his eye after standing next to it and looking at himself.
It’s definitely a tool he uses.
long time cat owner. None of mine ever look at the screen.
Mine definitely does, for instance when I look a documentary with other animals, so 🤷♀️
