A recent article in The Daily Collegian talks a lot about how pets imitate humans. It says that...

Jane Fryer said her kitten Skittles sometimes too closely follows the example of the members at the fraternity where he lives with Fryer's boyfriend.

"[Skittles] will run around the room at full speed and try to climb up everything. He has no fear, just like the frat boys," Fryer (sophomore-hotel, restaurant and institutional management) said. "I feel, that being in a fraternity, Skittles has taken on many of the aspects of a person living in that environment: large amounts of sleeping and lounging followed by senseless running in circles around the room."
