'To cat' as an intransitive verb exists in English slang; it means to seek
sexual partners, or to have an extramarital affair. That would be a sense of
'to behave like a cat' (and possibly 'generate kittens' if contraception
isn't used).

This sort of behavior might cause one to be reincarnated as a cat.
