He is adorable! This sounds like a behavioral issue. . I know you said you give him a lot of attention and play time but you may need to do some "environmental enrichment" as well (see links below). And if Feliway is available in your country you should definitely get some diffusers for your house.

I wouldn't be concerned by this behavior. It sounds like Silky is just exploring her surroundings and likes the mirror. As long as she is behaving normally otherwise I would not be concerned. Thanks for using Boop by Petco!

You've probably realized this, but Michu thought there was another cat in the house, and this was extremely upsetting to her. She reacted in a very normal way for her species - cats are loners and they are quite territorial, and in her mind she believed that another cat had invaded her territory. My advice would be to ensure that she can't see her reflection by covering mirrors at her level and preventing her from seeing her reflection in glass - you can do this by placing translucent adhesive film over the glass. Also, if this does happen again, please do not throw water at her - this likely will just continue to escalate her reaction. I'd recommend purchasing some feline pheromone diffusers ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/comfort-zone-calming-diffuser-kit-for-cat ) to place around the house, as these have a calming effect on agitated cats.

Unfortunately, it's likely impossible to know why Sky is acing this way. It's possible something has scared her about the mirror and now she has developed a negative association. You may try to counteract this by creating a positive association. Begin by having a high value treat or toy. Start playing/a training session close to the mirror, trying to make it not a big deal. Reward her every time she looks at the mirror and doesn't bark. Do this for a few days. Once Sky seems comfortable playing by the door way, toss the toy or treat next to the mirror gently and allow her to retrieve it and continue the playing. Do this until Sky is comfortable. Practice walking in and out of the room with her and reward her every time she she looks at the mirror and is quiet. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hello. The cats & kittens offered at Petco are actually managed by individual rescue groups. Prices will differ from rescue to rescue. All cats can do well if they are played with & fussed over once you get home. Can they get into trouble & sometimes make a mess? Absolutely. If you do not want hair & dander & kitty litter tracked all over the house, you should not have a pet. Cats may need to have their claws trimmed ( NOT REMOVED ) & plenty of opportunities to exercise their claws, otherwise they will scratch your furniture, moldings & walls. You will need different types of scratching surfaces, plenty of toys, a water & food dish, litter box ( or 2 ), & lots of patience. All cats are individuals, so when you go looking to adopt a cat, take your family & give yourself plenty of time to spend with your potential pet, & ask lots of questions about them. Good luck & thanks for using Boop by Petco.
