Continue »Cat posing in mirror either curious or very vain
(CBS News) I've been guilty of doing a quick touch-up from time to time when I come across a mirror or reflective surface. Is it vanity? Possibly. (But in my defense, I have longer hair that gets mussed up really easily). Which leads me to the video above of a cat who is either very vain or totally confused by what she is seeing in the mirror.

(CBS News) We've all been there before: you're totally exhausted, but you have to stay awake for some reason or other. So your eyes start to do that back and forth dance of slowly closing, followed by a spurt of wakefulness. (Wash and repeat.)
