Why don't cats look in the mirror?

Yes, but they think it's another cat and not themselves

ANSWER

when my cat was young it was a thing of great entertainment and mystery to him, but once he reached a certain age he would just look in the mirror as i held it to his face, (t was also entertainment to us too) and he'd look very bored and as if hes saying "yeah yeah yeah i get it , its a mirror, its me, how interesting"

They can see their reflection but since they don't smell "another" cat, they quickly lose interest. Cat society is governed by their sense of smell and body language. Without one, the other doesn't matter. In other words, the cat will see the reflection, think it's another cat there but then, once it realizes there is no odor attached to it, it realizes it's not another cat.

My cat is vain, she looks at her self while cleaning, and sees where she missed and fixes it. She will stare at herself for 15 minutes or so and watch as she cleans.

When a cat sees a mirror, they think there is another cat behind it. They will then either investigate why this other cat is in their home, or whine and meow to let others know there is a strange cat there. Some can learn to ignore it, whether because they realise what is happening or because they do not see the other cat as a threat and dismiss it as unimportant.

Cats do look in the mirror. They sometimes think there is another cat across from them and sometimes play with the 'other cat' for hours. Other cats notice that it is them or they just don't care.

Do you look 4 times better when you look in the mirror?

No. You look exactly as you are when you look in the mirror. The mirror is a reflection on how you look. You do not look better or worse than when you look in a mirror. A mirror is a flat surface, and you have curves, so the mirror will not reflect your curves, but, unless it's a "fun house" mirror which is designed to distort how you look, almost all ordinary mirrors reflect exactly how you look. No better, and no worse.
