  I have a "leaning" mirror with an easel back that can be displayed on the floor or hung on the wall (I purchased at Home Goods about six months ago) so it's not actually leaning against the wall but appears to lean to the naked eye. If you can find one like this is would alleviate the sliding of the mirror, otherwise you could try putting a bit of the rug gripping material (the materials you place between an area rug and the hard floor) between the mirror and the floor.

  I'll have to check this out. I've been looking at the mirrors at Home Goods, but not at the backs, maybe I've been missing out.

  With two dogs and a clumsy husband, I need to figure something out!

  We had a flimsy, standing full-length mirror on our hard wood floors. After we got our cat last summer (who is still a kitten and is very active), he was playing in front of it (he thought he saw another cat), jumped to attack, and the entire thing came crashing down into lots of pieces (luckily, they were decent sized chunks and he was ok.)
  

  We haven't replaced the mirror (we have a decent sized one on our armoire so I stand on the bed to see how I look . . . kinda sad, but it works for now.) When we do replace it, we will make sure to get one that hangs on the back of the door or has something, like an easel backing, to keep it from falling.

  To secure our leaning mirror to the wall I picked up some screw things that had metal loops/ bracket things above the screw head.  I'm sure there's a more technical name, but they can be found by the picture hanging stuff. I put one of those screws through the wall into a stud and another screw into the back of the wooden mirror frame. I then leaned the mirror to the wall and put a zip tie through both of the metal loop things. So the mirror is just leaning on the wall, but it can't come down. Hopefully that made sense.
