Putting on makeup can take a lot of energy, so it is nice to have an assistant, even if it is your cat.

TikTok creator @jaidan_royal, Jaidan often posts about her makeup routines, but this time, her sweet orange and white kitty made an appearance.

We aren’t able to find the name of the cat, but we do know he is very interested in cosmetics!

As Jaidan puts on her eye shadow, her cat watches very carefully.

Then, when she moves her hand to her other eye, the cat reaches up with his paw to her eye and mimics her motion of putting on her eye shadow, albeit he does it a little rougher than she would. But the gesture is still sweet.

Jaidan starts laughing and goes in for a little nose kiss from her cat.

He does oblige but seems very focused on seeing how he did as a makeup artist.

Well, we applaud the effort, and Jaidan captioned the video, “She was helping.”

Do Cats Mimic Human Behavior?

Do cats mimic human behavior, specifically that of their parents? It looks like they do in this video, and this is quite common with felines.

If you tend to watch cat videos on social media, you have probably seen some videos of cats mimicking humans either vocally, in sleeping positions, playful habits, eating habits, body language, emotional states, and grooming behaviors.

This video is an example of a cat mimicking their human’s grooming behaviors.

One vet told VetsExplainPets.com, that cats are constantly observing and learning from their environment, including their interactions with their parents.

Mimicking the human in their life is actually a way to communicate with them and bonds them in their relationship.

Despite the stereotypes, cats are very social creatures and they are observing their humans and mimicking is way for them to bond with them further.
