Can somebody please prove to me that I can recognise myself in a mirror? Cos maybe this is where I go wrong when applying make-up... It's never there when I look again in the mirrors in the club!

Don't give up - I think we all learned something from this.

You must have very intelligent cats, Orcus! 
All cats I've ever known look in a mirror either don't see anything or think it's another cat.

However, elephants are the only species besides humans that recognise the *skulls*/skeletons of their own species (and are afraid of them)...
