In strictly controlled experiments, experts discovered that a Japanese cat named Ebisu imitated the actions of its owner, such as touching a box with its paw or rubbing its head against it.
The reason for this, most likely, is living for a long time side by side with people, so that no other creature, including the intellectuals of the animal world, chimpanzees, can compare in this with a dog.
No one doubts that dogs adopt our manners and habits, that they behave in the same way as their owners.
If your cat repeats this behavior with you, it means cat sees you as her trusted friend. It rubs against you.
This behavior is an important sign that the cat has accepted you into its “pack.” The cat follows on your heels.
The pet strives for close contact - caresses, rubs against legs, begs for tenderness; the cat tries not to let its owner out of sight.
It sits down so that she can see him, fixes all movements with the eyes or runs after him with its tail; the animal can synchronize sleep rhythms with a loved one.
