In the clip, the cat glares at himself in the mirror and starts to growl. He flattens his ears aggressively and puffs himself up. The furry friend even hisses at himself!

"Butters woke up today and noticed his reflection for the first time ever after 5 years of life. He also knocked everything over on the sink yelling at himself," Robinson wrote in the caption of the now-viral video.

Robinson told Newsweek that his cat's angry reaction was shocking because it was a new development.

He explained that when Butters was a kitten, he'd hold him in front of the mirror, but the cat didn't notice his reflection.

While the cat's behavior seems extreme, Butter's vet told Robinson it's typical. It just hadn't happened before because Butters only noticed himself recently.
