When a family adopted a new kitten, the kitten roamed around the kitchen while its owner fiddled with a dishwasher. Since the man kept ignoring the kitten, the kitten decided to take charge by climbing up the man’s pants and then crawling on his back to let him know that it was there.

Experts say that kittens will climb on people to show trust. So if your cat climbs all over you, that’s either a sign of respect or a sign that your cat literally feels it can walk all over you to establish dominance over its human servants.
