Often the cat begins to exhibit strange behavior: the pet literally stalks its owner.

The four-legged friend enters the same rooms as a person.

Why does a cat that follows its owner or family members behave this way? There are several possible explanations.

It is possible that the pet seeks to exercise constant control over people.

Possible reasons

Often a cat that stalks people tries to control their every action.

Why is the animal afraid to leave the person? Perhaps because it considers itself obliged to look after its "ward", since it perceives itself as almost the master of the house.

However, it is possible that by “surveilling” the cat shows its love for the person, its trust, and also demonstrates a desire to interact.

It is also possible that the cat is asking its owner for something. Perhaps the person forgot to feed the pet on time. If the pursuit is accompanied by loud meowing, then the explanation is most likely correct.

Perhaps the "stalker" is trying to make the person understand that she has health problems. Perhaps the animal is in pain and is asking for help.
