I fully agree with you. We try to prove animals have deep self awareness by human standards. The thing is that animals don't think like humans do, so it's difficult to prove it but I'm very sure most of them are self-aware

    When my cat looks at her reflection and makes noises at the "other cat" on the other side if the mirror, I'm pretty sure she's not aware of how she looks like

    That isn't true for all cats though, many are fully aware they're seeing themselves. As with humans, individuals of any other species have different levels of intelligence.
