Cats have a reputation for being stand-offish and often disinterested. But this reputation can often be very wrong.
I have a Siberian cat Alexei and he loves following me around the house. Alexei isn’t unique – many cats like to follow their owners around – and even to the bathroom.
So why do they do this? Cats have domesticated themselves so the reasons for them following their owners around tend to be postive.
Kittens tend to follow their mothers everywhere. They learn everything from their mother and she is also the source of their food. So kittens learn to feel safe when they are near their mother.
Cats are sensitive and these changes could leave them feeling insecure. Thus they want to follow you everywhere as when they are with you they feel secure and protected.
