The mirror caught the attention of the Cheshire cat. As he was busy pursuing the trial of 2 fat rats. His reflection stopping him in his tracks. The view of himself took him really by surprise. Is that my face and my fur and my teal blue eyes? He was frozen in place and afraid to move. Sneaking away the Cheshire cat was smooth. He was afraid to go back and face it again. So he stayed far away from were he had been.
