Randi, sounds as if your Fister is a very clever one indeed. He recognized interrelations and develops strategies.

C.C., now that you say it, I also remember that they said that primates have a higher recognization of themselves than other animals. When the mirror is a reliable test, I wonder what our cats and gods see when they look at themselves. Your dog with the teddy for example (how cute btw! ) or Luna when I hold her in my arms in front of the mirror. Does she realize it's me holding a cat? Or that it's me holding her? Or doesn't she recognize me at all? Wish they could talk! *sigh*
