Is it possible for animals to think like us and try to act like us?

Pic is of my cat Zac. He's one of the strangest cats I've had who acts as though he's human.

He meows with certain tones when talked to, he prefers to sleep with his head on a pillow in a bed, he tries to open doors with both his paws (sometimes successful), he watches TV in my dad's chair, he purposely trolls everyone by walking in front of them and sitting down right as they catch up, he literally sits his butt down on the other cats as if they were a chair and he brings random objects to me as a gift and if he hears me say I'll throw it away, he quickly hides it so I can't.

Maybe I'm overthinking it or something, but I am curious if anyone else thinks so or also has a pet that acts a certain way.
