They're such incredible creatures.
If you've ever felt like your cat was copying you, you're not going crazy. They probably are! And in most cases, they're not mocking you, either.

Wow, we had no idea cats were this in tune with their owners! It makes perfect sense when we think about it, though, especially for felines who get to spend all day next to their people.
"That's so cute!" wrote commenter @tommmatina. "Thank you for this info." It's actually pretty helpful to know, right? Even seasoned cat owners can learn something new about their fur babies every now and then, so videos like this are always a welcome break from the daily doom-scrolling.
So, next time you see your kitty copying your every move, you know they might just be following their--or your--routine. Your curious buddy could also be trying to learn from you. Of course, mimicking can also be a cat's way of trying to bond with you--and how cute is that?
It might be strange, or even a bit annoying, for your pet to be copying you, but we hope this knowledge helps you see it in a different light. Think of the mimicry as a compliment! As @petkeen explained, your cat chose to copy you for a reason, so you should feel honored to have a four-legged shadow by your side.
