Cats always imitate their owners, probably because they are naturally curious and full of exploration of things around them. They may imitate their owner's actions, such as observing how they open doors, use remote controls, etc., and then try to do these things themselves. This imitation behavior is a way for cats to learn and explore the world.

Moreover, cats have established a deep emotional connection with their owners, and they may imitate their owners' behaviors to express their affection and closeness to them. For example, a cat may imitate its owner's sitting and sleeping postures, which reflects the cat's trust and dependence on its owner.
