A different kind of complaint

7. I'm not surprised she's clingy...

she lost her human. You adopted her and have been kind and loving towards her, but her insecurity is going to be there for a long time. Each cat is different. I've got one dog, and I've last several of my older cats over the last few years. My dog still hunts one, in particular, that he used to play with all the time. I've got enough cats, it's easy enough for him to find a friend among them, but he misses his favorite cat. And I can tell when it starts to really get to him, because he'll look depressed and HE gets clingy. It's one thing to have an 8 pound clinging cat..., but try it with a 105 pound dog! (LOL)

I took in my mom's cats when she moved to memory care, and both of them were clingy once Mom was gone, too. I end up just rearranging my life and positions around whatever the cats are doing and needing at the time.
