maybe this is not exactly what you were asking Kirsten, but I see self awareness in my kitties. For example. Dylan knows which foodbowl is HIS and he hides his toys there! The kids also know enough to play tricks on each other like hiding behind a door and pouncing! I held Emily up to the mirroe and she looked at my reflection, back to me - back and forth and was confused!!! That shows intelligent awareness doesn't it?
