Is Your Cat Tailgating You?
Ever feel like you’ve got a furry shadow? If your cat follows you from room to room, even into the bathroom, you’re not alone. Plenty of cat owners wonder why their feline friend is so clingy. The answer? There can be several reasons why your cat follows you, and most of them are actually quite sweet.
Love, Curiosity, or Hunger?
Cats are complex creatures. They might trail behind you because they like your company. While cats have a reputation for being independent, they often bond deeply with their humans. Another reason why your cat follows you is simple curiosity – you’re the most interesting thing in their environment.
When It’s Time to Be Concerned
Though it’s usually harmless, if the behaviour becomes obsessive or your cat seems anxious when you’re out of sight, it could be worth speaking to a vet or behaviourist. Changes in toilet habits, eating, or sleep can also be signs something’s up.
Enjoy the Company
So next time your cat hops up to follow you, know that they just love being near you – and maybe they’re hoping for a snack 😉. Whether it’s affection, habit, or just wanting in on the next room’s adventure, your cat’s behaviour comes from a meaningful place.
