My theory is that mirrors don't reflect smells. Cats see another cat but they usually sniff each other to identify friend from stranger. You can't do that with a mirror therefore it's a stranger cat. My first cat would spend way too much time in front of a mirror trying to figure out who the other cat was. She never ran into the mirror though which I suppose is an indicator of some intelligence.
Sort of related, my baby brothers used to do the same thing except it wasn't a lack of smell so much as they didn't realize what a reflectioin was at that stage of their development. They know now.
How was I supposed to know someone was slipping you Birth Control in the food I've been making for you lately?
Isn't it a sign of higher intelligence / self awareness when an animal doesn't attack it's own reflection? A baboon will attack, chimps admire themselves.
