I've had two cats at the same time, who never got along for thirteen years. They both lived long lives, 18 and 19 years. Now I have adopted a cat that I knew had feline leukemia from birth. They told me she had a life expectancy of two years, but she looks great and will be 5 years old in March. I didn't want to get another cat because of her disease. I didn't want the heartbreak of losing two young cats and can't afford the vet bills right now. But now for months she sits and stares a long time at herself in the mirror every night. Then she scratches at the mirror and tries to figure out a way inside it. She keeps going nose to nose with herself in the mirror. I've never had a cat do this and since it is every night, I think she may be lonely for another cat. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Thanks.

That was the funniest look on her face when she realized that somehow, it got away from her... I tired not to bust out laughing and distract her but it was hard!
