Dogs may be man's best friend, but it appears that some cats think that
they are man - or at least they sit like them.
狗可能是人类最好的朋友，但貌似有些猫以为自己就是人类，或者至少它们像人一样坐着。
It seems there are plenty of felines who like to sit perched on their
bottom, legs stretched out and paws placed in front of them.
好像很多喵星人喜欢直立坐着，腿叉开，爪子放在身前。
The owners of the cats seem bemused by the behaviour, with many posting
captions questioning what their pet was doing.
这些猫的主人对它们的行为迷惑不解，有些主人给图片配上文字说想知道宠物在干嘛。
Instagram user Olga Nowicka posted a photo of her cat sitting up with the
caption 'I'm sure he thinks he's human', whilst another wrote 'Pretending to be
a human #casual.'
One of the most famous cats that pretends to be human is Gold Coast kitty
Winston Smushface, who is a social media star in his own right with more than
15,000 followers on Instagram.
It's not clear why some cats sit upright, but Quora user Kyle Hayashi
theorised that if your cat does this, they're very comfortable in their
environment and don't feel threatened.
'In the wild, very few animals would intentionally expose their abdomens
like that... this shows that they feel reasonably safe and comfortable to show
their belly, knowing that they might not need to run away or fight anytime soon,
as that is their most vulnerable position.'
