Thought experiment- Where has the idea that cats think humans are cats come from?

Advice

So I see this a lot… that people think cats believe or perceive us to be one of their own.

But where has this come from?

I’m not necessarily opposing this thought experiment, but it did pop into my mind that cats don’t lick our faces/bodies to clean us like they do other cats… of course we don’t have fur, but if we are one of their own why do we not receive cleaning like other cats do?

Would love to hear other people’s perspectives on this thought experiment especially for both pro and anti examples as to why cats do or don’t treat humans like cats/one of their own.

Thanks
