The main idea covers the whole text: cats seem independent, but they can become attached to their owners. So the answer for the first task is "Cats can be independent but still attached to owners." A detail is one specific fact that the text states directly. The text says that a cat may wait by the door when its owner is away, so the answer for the second task is "A cat may wait by the door when its owner is away." "Cats are always happier when they are left alone by people." contradicts the text. "Cats follow their owners from room to room only for food." adds a reason that the text does not mention.
