I get the joke, but last time my girlfriend went away for a couple of days, the cats were basically all over her when she sat down. Even the ones that don’t particularly tolerate the others being too close were fine with it at that point.
it was so sweet. my mother went on a trip. the cat that she swears hates her waited by the door an entire day except for food and poop breaks, looking for her to come back. when she came back? he wanted loves from me. cats.
My cat is 15 years old, and has never really been alone for more than a few hours. My wife was normally home, and we had enough animals that when we went on vacation we had someone stay at our house. But my wife and split up early last year, and I ended up with the cat (and a bird), so it’s been just her and me for the better part of a year.
In November I had to go away for a week, so I had my brother come by once a day to feed her. When I got home she went nuts. Running along at my feet howling when I walked, instantly in my lap, rubbing her face against my chest when I sat down. The sad part was that, for a few days after I got home, she’d wake up in the middle of the night and start making this mournful howl. As soon as I’d say something or put my hand on her, she’d go right back to sleep. I think I gave the poor thing abandonment issues.

I think maybe most people don’t understand cats’ body language. Like they dont jump on you and wag their tail, so they must not love you.
This is why I’ve never considered “dog person” to be a compliment. Engage with nuance. Vote cat.
my cat jumps on me and wags his tail.
but it’s mostly because he’s pissed i’m not paying attention to him and he tries to take a chunk out of my arm with his mouth.

Yeah, she’s still clingy, but doesn’t seem bad like before.
