A user wrote, “He looks DELISH! A couple of hours in and soak would be perfection! Yum!” Another wrote, "Cute picture! But, since things are reflected at the same angle the image arrives from, and the fact that the camera is above the level of the mirror, the only thing this cat was seeing in the small mirror was the camera itself.” The third user wrote, "I look similar when I look in a mirror.” Another user remarked, "This shot is brilliant and should be shown in any film study class”.
