When I get home he is on the bed staring at the front door if I'm late he is sitting on the floor right at his food bowls so he knows what time I should be home
Awww that face! My cat will follow me to the elevator when I leave. Sometimes I come home and he’ll be sleeping in front of it waiting for me. Makes me feel TERRIBLE!
I would love to! I’ve been outvoted. I just foster kittens when I can. Mine is a patient big brother. They only get a little time together before they go for adoption, since I have to keep them separate until it’s medically cleared.
Those are the, " I'm going to traumatized you look"
My cat did that with Me. And left Me with 8 kitten, mom abandoned them while they were 4 weeks old, the youngest one died of a broken heart
Try using an 'away toy'. I had an anxious orange that would do this and not give me a moment without contact for 30m every time I got home. Got him a a kong treat egg, would put in a tsp of his food b/c too many treats lead to diabetes, put it out right before I left and put it away as soon as I got home, and he'd greet me but be less anxious about my ventures away.
She knows that I give her food in the same time, more or less same amount, so now she just quietly and very closely follows me when I'm about to get her food.
But when my grandma comes... she immediately is in a SCREAMING mode, she starts behaving like she is STARVING, WASN'T FED FOR DAYS because she knows my granma is easy go break with few dramatic meows and get more food
My husband had never had a pet cat and legitimately thought I was starving them. Look how they’re crying! You forgot to feed them! I literally fed them every night before bed. They’re just cats, they’re dramatic and act like they’ve never eaten before. He’d actually get really upset about it. Bro…
My two do the same. Around me they're totally chill, no drama. They follow me at meal time and calmly wait while I take it up and then walk with me to their eating spots.
When other people are involved it's as if I starve them for fun and please for the love of Hesat and Bastet someone please feed them.
I was get these looks when I pull a suitcase out for a trip. I have, on more than one occasion, found one their toys hidden between layers of packing that they've left for me.
What a beautiful cat. My cat used to do same to me always made me feel terrible for leaving. And my husband said she would start waiting for me at the front door when she knew I would be home. And if I was late she would cry until I got home. Cats are so smart and they love their people so much. And you can tell your cat loves you very much.
Give your kitty treats before you leave if you haven't started that routine. This has helped my boys who, instead of being sad I leave, encourage me to leave faster so they can get some treats. 🙄😂
Wow. I had a cat that used to sit in the window and when he saw me coming up the street from work, he would do a double-take, then run to the door. And when I would come up and open the door, he was basically wagging his tail. His tail would go straight up and kind of vibrate. He would purr his little kitty lungs out.
My voidling, Luci, does this whenever I leave through the front door. There's a window above the door and a convenient ledge he can sit on. He'll watch me leave and cry a bit. If I've only stepped out to take out the garbage or go get mail he'll wait for a minute for me to return. He will watch the whole way up the walk and only when I get near the door does he hop down to greet me on the half wall with little squeaks.
Reminds me how lucky I am to work from home so my babies always have me. I hope one day our world changes dramatically so more people can spend time with their pets and family. Love this precious baby and she will be so happy when you return!!!
Tristan is absolutely beautiful! She looks admittedly sad in this picture looking out the window. Mine do something similar. They go to the back windows (i park my car directly outside the back windows) & will stare out at me as I get in the car to leave. I wave at them & tell them ill be back soon & to be good. Like they understand me...not lol! I do it anyway 🙂
I feel like people should get a large photo of themselves (8"x10", not like a poster or anything) and put it somewhere near their animals bed or where they like to sleep so the pet can see them during the day and not be so lonely. It isn't the same as the real thing of course but it may help them not feel so lonely
Shoot whenever I leave my cat's are looking at me like bye see you later hasta luego have a good trip and then I spend the next 15-20 minutes trying to figure out what they did wrong in the house and once I don't find anything I sit in my recliner and lean it back and within 5 to 10 minutes all three of them are laying between my legs all passed out LOL I have two voids and one silver and gray tabby.
How very dare you!?!?! Go back immediately you are now a stay at home cat parent! The cat goes with you everywhere or you stay home with that baby 😻🥹 oh my heart 😭😭
Oh my gosh, what a sad look on that pretty little face. Occasionally one of my two will stand by the door and pathetically meow as I close it, like a "mother don't go!" meow. Our poor babies!
