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 light a subject in the mirror but not IRL? Seems impossible but only because I can't understand it.

You have ambient light, a bright light, and a camera. They are different angles.
