do cats actually believe we're their mothers/other cats?
I'm not sure if cats are naturally friendly with humans, or is it that they just believe we're other cats as well? Possibly their foster mother? (I have a cat who was a foster mother to one of my kittens who is now grown.)
I once read in a book saying they believed we were just bigger odd-looking cats. I found that interesting, because my kitten treats me as if I were his mother. He comes to me for comfort and puts his paw on my face when I hold him (:

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
One of my cats used to try to nurse off my arms so I think you may be right. I have to wear long sleeved shirts in the middle of summer because I had little hickeys all up and down my arms. (He did it while I was sleeping).

well no i dont think they look at you as another cat but as theirs. If i cat rubs up against you their basically saying your mine.
i guess we'll never really know what they think of us.

I read a study somewhere that said that cats actually think that humans are large cats, not that cats are small humans.
My cats follow me around; they just get attached to us naturally.

Yes, Cats are just like children in that way. They become adopted by us humans we raise them and we are basically a parent in their eyes. They think we are the "Mama" cat ;)
