A friend continuously ascribes his actions to his cat. Example:"(Cat's name) bought some shares of IBM today" . Or, "(cat's name) bought some tickets to the show tonight." What is going on???

He is so involved with his cat he sees no difference between himself and kitty.

I have a friend who does that. I never really attributed it to something weird. She's a journalist, now retired, who knows how to tell a good story, and she'll often saythings like "Bob J (one of the cats) is contemplating a coup of the gov" and shows a picture of Bob J staring out the window. Stuff like that.


I've told her many times she should write a book, and I'll illustrate it. lol


But I've also told we should start an all-girl band. She's in Rhode Island and I'm in Missouri. Probably not going to happen. lol

He's projecting on his cat. I guess it's harmless unless the kitty starts minding.
