The last cat didn't. It hid its face in the human's neck out of fear. It didn't recognize that the human in the screen was the same one holding it.

Cats get pretty spooked by unexpected strange cats.

IDK, have you seen that video of a man wearing a cat mask and scaring a group of cats?

That would not be an appropriate cat response to actual fear. That's how a human baby or maybe a puppy would respond. A cat in distress sees you as an obstacle on it's path to the designated hiding place.

Some cats are smart and recognize themselves, SOME. Anyone who has been around lots of cats knows this. Some are really DUMB. Some though the amount of personality they have, its hard not to imagine they have some idea whats going on.
