My "furkid" (lol, I think that is so cute) thinks shes a human, She sits in chairs and puts her whole paw on the arm rest like a human, she has to eat on the table, She has to be clean! Once.. I know this isn't really pleasant, but once when we had a little kitten and Panda, the kitten went in the litter box and didn't cover it, so Panda went over there and covered it.... and we have stools on one side of the counter, Panda sits on one of the stools and watches people cook... she watches our hands, and then after watching us many times, she started scoopng her food with her paw.... Does your cat do this too? or does she do it cause she was raised by humans?

Mobius sometimes scoops food or water with her paw and eats it out of her paw. I think this is a trait of Maine Coons or mixes with that breed (or maybe just a mental cat...

)

i think thats normal!!!!!

my cats do the same things: scooping food with their paws. my cat, sugar, saw us open the doors by turning the doorknobs, so now he strethches up and tries to open the doors(although he doesnt have the srength to push it).

id say that most cats are just interested in our lives, just like we are. i always wonder exactly what my cats do outside, other than sleeping and hunting!!!

cats are very intelligent and they learn by watching just like kids do. She is behaving like a human cause she is living with humans. She is trying her best to take on and perform human tasks. All cats do that. My oldest tries to open doors and turn on the faucet in the bathroom. And my youngest eats with her paws and talks all day long, she actually tries to carry on a conversation. She also tries to answer the phone. When the phone rings she runs for it and paws at it to take it off the charger. It's not strange at all.
