Why the cat won't leave the owner

You must like it, but at the same time you are curious and want to know the reasons why your cat won't leave you.

Why my cat won't leave me, he's always around. Even now he's lying on the table and pretending to sleep on my arm))))

My attention to him enough, and in general the family spoils him all, but that's why it can not without me, whether I sit behind a computer to four in the morning, he will faithfully wait for me, or I'm in the bathroom, he sits at the door, etc., etc. Sometimes I look at him and I think I know what's going on in his little ginger face))))

(He misses you!) ) Play with him at least a little, pet him. He is waiting for your attention, not indifference, and you will not stroke him! He needs your attention too!)

cat is a clever fellow, especially when it benefits him, how can he get you to pet him? Of course, to rest on your hand, and it's easier to keep track of you so you don't miss it when you go to the kitchen.

That's just love! Cats only look so self-sufficient, and at heart they are sweet and kind, and very much want attention and affection from their owners!

My whole zoo follows me around all day, too – my daughter, my dog, and my cat. We even go for a walk in the street as a group.

You should be glad you have such a loyal friend.
Cats get attached to a place, not a person. Some cats are like dogs.

I had a cat, exactly the same behavior, only when I bathed, she shouted outside the door, like "come out! There's WATER in there! "=) that was a nice cat! ! You're lucky to have a cat like that, it's very touching. I understood that such behavior is quite rare and very much appreciated, still can't get over her loss =(

He just chose you as his favorite for him, so he follows you everywhere. Even though everyone in the family loves the cat, he chooses to favorite one person for himself. Mine also follows me everywhere from the kitchen to the room. And the bath is a sacred thing, he lies down in the sink. And he comes and goes to sleep, then leaves, and comes back again in the middle of the night. And you understand him without words, so you have a mutual cat-human love. And that's wonderful.

The cat follows you "tail" and does not take his eyes off you. Zoologists told what it means.

However, sometimes our animals begin to behave quite strangely – literally walking behind the owner "tail", not giving even a step to step without their undivided attention. As it turned out, the cat does it for a reason. The animal has at least five reasons for strange behavior:

Personal needs.

If your cat suddenly became interested, the reason may be trivial: it is quite possible that the pet is hungry, and he has nothing to eat. Sometimes the animal just needs attention, so the cat will in every way "advertise" itself, getting into your eyes.

The pet can't just pick up and ask for help, so it tries to develop other ways to communicate. If the animal is unwell, it may try to draw attention to itself. Therefore, assess the overall condition of the cat.

The cat is bored.

If your cat doesn't get enough exercise, it will follow you around to pass the time. This is very evident among domestic cats who cannot exercise their hunting instincts. Thus, the cat will follow you as a substitute for exercise.

Remember that cats are curious creatures, so if you hold something, they will follow you until they know what it is.

It is important to keep your cat busy with toys and other activities. If you are going to work, it is better to leave your cat with interactive toys to play with.

You make the cat feel safe and secure.

Cats, especially kittens, will feel insecure in a new home. And if they have made you their mother, they will follow their owner around to feel safe. Even adult animals in the feline family will demonstrate this mother-child relationship.

Also, cats are confused and alarmed if you ban them from the room. If your cat meows endlessly until you let her in, it is a sign that she wants to be with you. This is to keep you safe and not go anywhere.

Cats that are weaned early on tend to be overly dependent on humans. It is important to socialize your cat so she is not overly compulsive.

Moreover, cats will often follow you everywhere at night so they can snuggle up to your bed. In the wild, cats sleep next to other cats, so they are less vulnerable to potential predators.

Is it safe to sleep with cats?

It's generally safe to sleep with a cat if it's clean and groomed. However, the dirt and vermin your cat collects on the outside can get on the sheets and pillowcases. Therefore, only allow your cat to sleep on the outside of your blanket to protect the inside where you sleep. If you don't feel comfortable with your cat sleeping on your bedding at all, cover the bed with a sheet or spare blanket for optimal protection.

If you don't want your cat sleeping next to you every night, there are a few things you can try to get her to flinch before bedtime. Start by simply asking your cat to get out of bed before bedtime. If that doesn't work, try the following options:

• Move the cat's bed.. Remove the bedside table on the bed or place a TV tray next to the bed and put one of your cat's cribs on top. Hopefully, your cat will sleep in her bed and feel as if she is sleeping in yours.
• Close your door.. Locking the bedroom door is a surefire way to keep the cat out of bed at night. The first few nights they may meow and howl, but patience and persistence on your part should curb annoyance and help the cat accept its nocturnal reality.
• Offer a bedtime buddy.. Give your cat a new furry bedtime buddy to cuddle with in her bed. With any luck, they will be satisfied with the warmth, friendship, and security it offers.

One or all of these options may work for you and your cat, so it is advisable to try them all before deciding which one is best for your family.

Both girls used to be among the throngs of homeless people who roam the cities and countryside. Three-year-old Trixie was pulled from a litter found under the porch of a neighbor's house, and two-year-old Chloe was brought home by Christian's young son, Henry, who found the crying kitten in the parking lot.

Your cat is in labor.

If you have a pregnant cat, her obsession with you may be one of the first signs that your cat is in labor.

So, congratulations! You are about to have a cute litter of kittens. It's common for first-time moms to get scared when contractions start because it's a whole new experience for them.

While some may hide and hiss when you approach them, others will stick to you like glue until the moment they give birth.

Take this as a sign of how much your cat trusts you. Not all cats let people get close to them when they are vulnerable.

Your cat must really love you if she shares this incredible experience with you.

My cat won't take a step away from me.

My cat is 1.5 years old. Lately she can't get away from me. I go outside (I live in a private house) will not pass and two minutes, I look, looking for me, meows. Then comes up and climbs on my shoulder or in my arms. At home, runs after me as a tail, sitting at the computer, she lies on my lap. Sometimes she walks without me, of course. But most of the time she's right next to me. Please be serious, don't write that we don't feed her, etc.. She's doing fine. (And by the way, in addition to her two cats (but they are almost all day outside) and two dogs in the yard!) What could be wrong with her?

I have two of those) ) And used to have the same tails. What surprises you?) )

I've had eyes on the back of my head and on my * ass for a long time now.)
The little one screams for me to carry the baby in my arms, the older one is good at jumping on my shoulders, often unexpectedly.)
Once she lays down in front of the TV, they start hugging her, massage her, purr, purr) )

Victoria Enlightened (33510) We have always had a passionate oriental lady lived, so for me it is normal)) A cat that walks by itself doesn't do it for me. But Velcro cats, cat dogs are awesome!)

Yes, that's it, right after buying a carrier the other day and take it. And then alarming this attachment, before so much was not.

I was frightened, I thought it was sucking my life energy in this way, I kicked it, now it doesn't seem to walk, and I'm calm.)

When I lived in a private house, my cat used to bring me headless rats on my pillow for me to praise her. Can you imagine such a present to see in the morning on his pillow or in the legs.

Mine is also constantly sitting under the chair, if I'm sitting in a chair watching TV, it jumps on the back of the chair.

Kitten does not leave my side a single step, even behind the bathroom door guard, hears a voice and starts screaming, is this normal?

Iohei 13, and she is constantly trail to trail, sleeps on my head, and now in my arms, to be exact, she sits on the back, and the front hugs me by the neck and kicks, and also claws into slowly, but I think that is really from a hard childhood. When we got ours, it had no fur, no teeth, only fleas, and a kitten over 3 months old, could not and did not know any food except for gray bread. We brought it up, let it out, and now it's "drawing fynwams" on me, try not to follow it. i'm typing, it's bothering me, and it's gnawing at me. save me.

Maybe you took him away from his mother too soon and he got attached to you. Or maybe he gets lonely at home all day long, and he just wants some company when you come over.
Mine also likes to go to the bathroom with me although a big one already

he likes you. i wish i had a kitten like that. he thinks you're a mom. i want a kitten that thinks i'm a mom.

Mine is the same now and when he was taking a bath he tried to come in and meow it's ok but when he gets older it won't be like that

My Jessie has been doing the same thing for 5 years. She only loves me, she doesn't care about the other family members. I think this is normal, especially if the kitten is of British blood.

LG Enlightened (24657) More than once I've read and heard about British cats that they don't get used to the place like others, but dog-like attachment to the owner. Ours is an example of this. In addition, the British are very smart and awfully beautiful, at least to my taste.

Yes the British they are so for life are attached, and in general, cats can be more loyal than some dogs. take him everywhere with you what can you do, a little grow up will get used to walking alone. I know mine as soon as a little squeak I dropped everything ran to him as a baby

How to help an overly obtrusive cat

If a cat is constantly following its owner and it becomes a cause for concern, measures should be taken to help it become more independent:

1. Identifying the causes.Cats are so sensitive to change that even seemingly minor changes such as buying a new couch or rearranging furniture can cause them stress. Therefore, it is important to engage your detective skills and determine the cause of this behavior.
2. Consult a veterinarian.If there is a possibility that the cat's behavior is related to health problems, you should make an appointment with your pet's veterinarian. The specialist will also help determine if the separation anxiety is the result of premature weaning and will advise on how to manage it.
3. Setting and enforcing strict boundaries.You need to close the door to the bathroom and toilet behind you, take the time to comply with every request of the cat and allow her to sit on your lap only on her own terms.
4. Playtime scheduling.You should provide the cat with toys that will keep her from getting bored while everyone is busy or no one is home. You can set up a cat perch near a window with a busier view so your furry pet can watch birds and people. If that's not possible, you can search the Internet for animal videos to help entertain the cat while your pets are busy doing other things.
5. Consider getting another cat.Although some pets prefer to be the only one in the family, an animal with a clingy personality will benefit from having a furry friend around to keep them company. This is especially true for a cat who has become compulsive after losing another pet.

Character traits

You should not be in a hurry when choosing a pet. One should carefully study the characteristics of the breeds so that one knows in advance what to expect. It is important for the owner to assess whether they have the time and energy for a very affectionate and potentially clingy cat.

Before taking a pet from a shelter, it is best to visit the cat you like several times. This will help you understand how she will behave when she moves to a new home.Sometimes pets need time to really reveal their character. Therefore, the closer you can get to know the cat before you bring it home, the better.

If the future owner plans to take a kitten from the shelter, you can ask the shelter workers to leave it with its mother until three months. This will give him time for natural weaning and to learn the necessary socialization skills in his feline family.

So, what could be the reasons why your cat won't leave your side:

1. Your cat was separated from its mother early.
2. You are your cat's playmate.
3. The cat is anxious about being separated from you.
4. Your cat has trust issues.(Taking a cat from a shelter and giving her a forever home is great. However, you can't know what your furry cat has been through in his short life. You also don't know how many times they've been returned to the shelter. If your cat has already been to several families, they may have trust issues).
5. Pet illness.
6. The cat is about to give birth.(If you have a pregnant cat, its excessive attachment to you may be one of the first signs that your cat is in labor).
7. Elderly cat.(Time spares no one, including our beloved cats. As cats get older, their eyesight and hearing begin to weaken. While this is normal, your cat may lose confidence when they can't see or hear as well as they used to. Naturally, they will prefer to stay close to you in order to navigate their surroundings).
