Nothing stares as intense as cats and even for a domestic cat also known as Felis catus, they are still recognized to be MEOW for their keen sense of sight and hearing, and their ability to notice changes in their environment. Cats may also meow to communicate with humans or other cats, expressing their needs, feelings, or opinions.
But for an observant species, their eyes are easily fooled for their lack of self-awareness. When faced against a mirror, the mirrored features of their reflection confuses them for example:
This is how the cat looks
This is how the cat looksThe two has the same content but cats lack the ability to comprehend that the two are the same.
Life is only a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see and be
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
But with that said, cats are not less of what they are for their limitations in comprehending what they see as they are capable of perceiving things that will probably be unnoticeable.
