We'll see who's laughing when the inevitable cute and cuddly animal revolt comes and that adorable leopard is sucking your brains out of your skull.

And that's why I never plan to get married.

Wait... what?

It's incredibly difficult for me to put myself into the shoes of a creature that can not understand how a mirror works. An idea mostly thought be exclusive to humans over 18 months or so old and great apes.

Also keep in mind that baby humans learn incredibly fast. Not quite the same as an adult animal encountering a new situation for he first time. I bet if you isolated a human from all mirrors until adulthood and then suddenly exposed them to it, they'd be confused for a bit as well. Animals would probably get used to mirrors after enough exposure, even if they consider it a window into a parallel dimension rather than a reflection.

The list of creatures that have a sense of self awareness has grown though; elephants, dolphins, orcas, and - surprisingly - European magpies all pass the "mirror test".
