    This is why I always feel a little guilty when I’m leaving on a trip. For my cat, this house and myself are her entire world. And if I disappear, for however long, due to reasons she can’t even begin to fathom, it must be confusing and stressful for her.

    Which is why I give her scritches and kisses every time I go to work, and tell her that I love her. And if she wants attention when I’m home, no matter what I’m doing, she gets at least an acknowledgement that I see her, I hear her, and I care about her.

      The trick is to get too many cats, so that they always have each other and are less upset when you aren’t around.

      2 is probably enough, but too many is preferred
