FELINE MIRROR
Cat emotion analysis
FELINE MIRROR is a free AI Skill for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor that decodes your cat's mood and body language. Upload a cat video. Ears, head, back, legs and tail are measured frame by frame, key moments such as a slow blink freeze with an AI face-scan effect, and each one is read for how your cat feels, what it is telling you and how to respond.
What's included
- An interactive analysis page for desktop and mobile
- A personality report and a letter from your cat
- Analysis scripts and the page template
Perfect for
- Cat owners
- Pet content creators
- Pet shops and clinics
What you need
- A 10 to 30 second video with the face in frame
- Good light, tail not hidden
- Claude Code, Codex or Cursor
Methods and research
Model
- DeepLabCut SuperAnimal-Quadruped: 39-keypoint pose model for four-legged animals, tracking ears, eyes, spine, legs and tail frame by frameYe et al., Nature Communications 15, 5165 (2024)
- DeepLabCut: markerless pose estimation for animalsMathis et al., Nature Neuroscience 21, 1281–1289 (2018)
Behaviour
- Slow blink: a friendly signal from cats to people; cats approach people who blink backHumphrey et al., Scientific Reports 10, 16503 (2020)
- Tail up: a friendly greeting toward familiar individualsCafazzo & Natoli, Behavioural Processes 80, 60–66 (2009)
- Ear and facial movements linked to emotional statesBennett, Gourkow & Mills, Behavioural Processes 141, 342–350 (2017)
- CatFACS: facial action units for ears, eyes and whiskersCaeiro, Burrows & Waller, Applied Animal Behaviour Science 189, 66–78 (2017)
- Feline Grimace Scale: used only to suggest a vet visit, never as a diagnosisEvangelista et al., Scientific Reports 9, 19128 (2019)
Ear, head, back and leg angles and speeds are measured from the keypoints; eyes and slow blinks are read by AI on the frozen frames. Moods are inferences grounded in the studies above, not a medical diagnosis.
FAQ
Paste it into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and point it to your video. The AI downloads the analysis scripts, sets up the tools in a separate environment and builds the page in your project folder. How Skills work
No. Ear, head, back and leg readings are measured from 39 tracked points, and moods are inferences grounded in published studies. If a pain expression keeps showing up, the page suggests a vet visit.
No. The Skill runs inside your own AI tool, and your video never reaches Sketchry.
Yes. Create an account or sign in, then copy it from this page.
