Crush said "You're a handsome boy just like your daddy!" to my cat

If you want the short of it my crush said to my cat while pet sitting "You're a handsome boy just like your daddy." and I do not know what to do

I (32M) befriended a coworker (31M) we have been friends for around three years. He is very outgoing and has many friends, so I assume he is just a nice guy and isn't interested in me the same way I am with him. Still, we get coffee every Tuesday and Thursday morning and interact outside of work. Examples of this are dinner, coffee, trivia, and general conversation.

After we got to know each other a bit better and truly became friends he had the privilege to meet my cat, who's name is Prince. He is an orange tabby cat with a lot of fur and fluff. My friend instantly starting fawning over him and talking about and showing me pictures of his old cat named Pinto Bean who tragically passed away five years ago.

Now onto the event in question. I recently went on a trip with my mother to visit some cousins out of state. We planned to be gone for about four days. I decided to ask my friend to pet sit since he loves Prince and unlike my other friend he is an experienced cat owner. I warned him about how I had some cameras in my house and he said he wasn't bothered by them and if I wanted to check in on how things are going that would be okay with him.

I was very grateful for this and offered to pay however he said spending time with Prince was payment enough. So I gave him the rundown of Prince's schedule, where his food is, his favorite toys etc. I mentioned that if Prince is shedding and leaving a lot of hair around then he could brush him, only if he wanted to. He said he would but I still decided to give Prince a good brushing before I left.

On the third day of the trip he texted me saying he was going to try and brush Prince. He loves being brushed and will roll over and let you even brush his tummy, but he has never been brushed by anyone other than me so I was a little worried. I tried to ignore it, but after a few minutes I decided to check on the camera to see how he was doing with him.

I could see at the edge of the screen where they were sitting and could hear them easily. I only checked for a few seconds but that was all that was needed.

I am not sure wether it was the Lord or Satan that caused this coincidence but that is when I heard my friend say in-between his other compliments to Prince "Aww you're such a handsome boy, just like your daddy! Uh huh aren't you a handsome boy!"

My heart stopped hearing that. I still can't stop thinking about it. Does this mean anything? Could he possibly be attracted to me the same way I am to him? I know he is bisexual but perhaps I am being too hopeful and this is a normal thing to say to your friends cat. What would you do in my situation?
