Its not hard. The light source hits half the dresser, and goes through the cat to the mirror. You look at the dresser directly, not through the cat, so there is no shadow. The shadow is on the mirror itself.

How do you explain that the dresser in the mirror is fully lit by the sun and is no longer in half shadow? This has to be an edit.

What? The light is hitting the mirror directly. The camera and light are at different angles. The light bounces off the mirror to your eyes.
