When we see what we think is a cat, what we have categorised as a cat, I don't think we are looking at it from each angle and going, cat, cat, cat. I think there is an aspect of something like the 'free-energy principle' that is required to trigger off a re-assessment. So while visually we may receive 20fps of cat images, it's mostly discarded unless there is some novelty that challenges expectation.
