So I adopted my kitty when she was about 4 months old. She's now a 6 year old kitty - september 18 -

Now, we all know cats to be independent, right? At least a lot more than dogs.
.__. Well my kitty falls under the category of even the most dependant dogs.

She follows me everywhere, she haaas to sleep with me, I have to give her special food for dinner, and she's so picky about it. I have to insist on her eating by stroking her back and telling her how nummy and fresh the food is.

The moment I take a step on the staircase, she immediatly goes off running upstairs to the single and only room up there which is my room - then take over the bed and wait for me to come up. Then she'll meow and stare at me or knead on my leg until I look down her way and cuddle her, or pick her up and put her on my lap.
*she meows a lot for attention the whole day btw*

This is my everyday *whenever I'm home at least*
When I leave for long periods, she starts to eat less and becomes less active. At times, she'll vomit even, as well as drink less water.
Leaving was inevitable though. I left from NYC to go to school at Las Vegas, where my parents were planning to move at the time *and now live at*

Even now, she is meowing at me from my bed and making her way onto my lap as I type this. I think she's jealous of my computer. Of my piano and gameboys as well.

For reference, she's good and healthy now that I'm with her again. Eats well and drinks aaa looooot. *I have a water dish for her here in my room, since she's here a lot and it's so isolated from the rest of my house.
Second reference, we do have another kitty. Mother's cat. Is almost a year younger than her. They used to play back in NY, but now they're just so territorial since it's a new house.

; ~ ; So, are some cats just this way?


Here's us only days I think before I left for school

Sounds normal for a cat that's been raised pretty early. (:
But since cats and other animals are individuals, you can't really say what's 'normal' and what isn't. Hope this helps! ^^

Cats are attention beggars... My cat meows at my door until I let her in my room. Maybe you should try putting something your cat will love downstairs or something that will distract her from your room. Maybe try cat n**? ;D

@starsfury - . ^ . y e s

@Poetic Glance - She was very young i suppose . ^ . That sounds pretty valid.
Their individuality is probably a big factor.

@neko with ichigo - O..O Y E S they do x ox ou. I feel bad too, since all they know is the house they live in. I always wonder if it's enough for them. I do know that they need new things, like toys so that their minds and curiosity are stimulated.

@ Arcane Arlunix - x ox Oh very much. Mine meows for quite a while. She does give up eventually if I don't open the door, but she'll scratch it...Her nails + My door makes the sound of Nails on a Chalkboard Dx
I think I'm getting used to it.
There are things down there that would distract her, but eventually, she'll get bored of said things and come upstairs to my room. She loves the cat n** indeed, but it makes the hell of a mess. We use the dried up herb version. It's the only one she likes. Catnip toys don't really attract her. Not many toys do actually. The only toy she loves is this keychain that has long fiber optic strands that light up in flashing colors. Even then, she gets bored of it after 15 minutes or so xD lol. I love her.

I think this is normal
the problems with cats are that they're territorial and like to have all the attention in the house i guess you could try putting her on the ground or ignore her every time she jumps on you or something and she might learn

My cat does the same thing.
Cept he refuses to even sit near anybody else unless I'm in the room, he won't let anybody touch him and if he's sitting next to me and somebody comes over, he puffs up and hisses at them for the longest time.
Were's my commercial for over-possesivness?!

Oh I have tried this ^ ^
She does learn if I do it after a while, but that's when her depression kicks in. She will sleep in all day long - very unusual for my cat - and wont come back to me or feel better until I invite her back in and giver her my undivided attention.
Also, she is very persistent. It's very difficult to ignore kitty mews. They're just too cute. = 3=
