Mirroring

Cats like to mirror their human's behavior, from actions to emotions. For the first week I worked from home, Hippie would steal my chair whenever I got up.

After that, I decided to give him his own chair, so that he could sit with me but not bother me. Of course, I also had to give him something soft to sit on too. It has really helped Hippie to be able to be close to me and copy me, but still let me work.

Sometimes he still needs attention, so we spend time together on breaks.
