Hi Valerie,

Thank you for sharing such a sweet story about your cat! It’s amazing how our feline friends can show their personalities in unique ways. While cats may not experience jealousy in the same way we do, they can definitely become possessive or protective of their favorite people.

It sounds like your cat really enjoys the special attention she gets during those visits!

Hi Carole, glad to hear you enjoyed our article. Your boy sounds like an absolute doll. So many cats that I have met challenge the typical feline stereotype with their ability to read human emotions. Even though it's hard to prove scientifically, it's very clear when you spend enough time with a cat. :)

Hey Samantha, I agree, I've seen it before myself in my cats. But, it's anecdotal at the moment since it's near impossible to run emotional studies on cats. But that doesn't mean our experiences are anything less than real.

Sounds like Professor Sniffles and Wheezer both love you so much and need to learn to share and trust that you have enough love for both of them! :)

Hi Sandy, sorry to hear you had to leave your cat, but great to hear you are home and it sounds like you are both doing well. Cats aren't the biggest fans of change, but that doesn't mean they aren't adaptable. If she was yours for 11 years, she will absolutely still remember you and just because she's been elsewhere for a few months does not automatically mean she won't want to be back with you. Our cat lived with friends for nearly a year when we were traveling and the moment we got home, he waltzed back into our lives as if no time had passed, he was our boy, and their nephew. That's not to say this is the same for every cat, but you being her mom, you'll know what's best for her. Hope that helps! <3

I am well now’s and home. My Persian cat is being cared for, in the last 5 months. Can I take her back or will she be emotionally better off where she is today?
