the discerning cat
01
Most cat owners see their cats as companions and part of the family. Your cat may well feel the same way and just enjoy being with you.
02
A very common reason for your cat following you around is because they are hungry - particularly when that following is accompanied by quite a few loud meows..
03
Some cats are more curious than others and like to know what their owners get up to.
04
If you have been doing other activities and not engaging with your cat for a while they may well start following you around to remind you that they exist and would like you to acknowledge it, please.
05
If you have been on a holiday or a trip and your cat suddenly starts following you around and/or sleeping with you it may be that your cat is experiencing separation anxiety.
06
If your cat suddenly starts following you around everywhere it may be due to a recent major change.
07
Cats need activities to substitute for the activities they would have done in the wild. One of those could be to start following you around.
08
Kittens tend to follow their mothers everywhere. So kittens learn to feel safe when they are near their mother.
09
Your cat may be following you as a form of play. It might like to suddenly jump on you or to hide and then pounce on you.
