My Cats Were Left Alone for This Long For The First Time Since We Got Them

my cats miss us even if we are away for a few hours... My little Barron threatens to run away every time we are away for too long, and than he gets upset if we are not trying to stop him from running away. they are even trying to stop us from going out at night lol. they just stay at the door and are not letting us close it. cute guys.
they were all over me all day, always trying to get move hugs and kisses, they missed it when we were away:)

I know. lol They act like we have been gone for weeks instead of a few days or even a few hours. Tigger, my avatar, is my feral baby who seldom lets me out of his sight when I'm home. I go outside and he roams from window to window merowing his head off. He has a spot on the kitchen floor he will sit at and watch me while I'm working in the kitchen. No matter what room I'm in, he has a spot to sit and quietly observe while I talk to him and work. Once in a while he'll answer back, specially when he wants something. The other 2 cats pretty much ignore me cept when they hear the treat container or the opening of a can of food.

The Barron is te one who usually follows me lol, he always wants more hugs:) Boss is usually laying near me when i'm on my computer, he likes being close to me but doesn't want to walk so much lol. Usually one of them is near me when i decide to feed them so the one he is next to me meows to let others know that food is on the way:)

yes, it's very hard for us to leave them lol. my main problem with leaving them is that i feed them raw food and it gets spoiled too fast. I'm glad that my bf's sister was able to feed them so often, don't know what we would do without her... they are also very attached to us, my boyfriend was the first human in their life who treated them well and rescued them (their previous owners abused them) and i'm the second human and somewhat of a mother figure to them. i'm the only female around since their mother ran away (i think she wanted to die somewhere where her kids wouldn't see it and get upset) they are very scared to loose us, so we were woried that they will get scared that we left them for good or that something happened to us. As it turned out my little Barron doesn't care who hugs him, as long as he gets tons of hugs lol but boss although did get hugs was very happy when i was back (i think he thinks i'm his girlfriend lol) Rocky spent the whole time under the bed, he hides there when strangers come over... he got the most abuse so he can't really get used to the idea that most people wouldn't hurt him.

That's nice that you take in rescued cats. All of mine have been rescued kitties too. The two that are in the house are huge (probably about 25# each...not fat, just big!) The outside barn kitty was a rescued cat too. One cat was from somebody dropping it off at the farm here, I didn't even know it was hiding under the barn. Then the coyotes got the mother and some of the babies. I actually crawled under this old barn to rescue the last baby myself lol. It was stuck between a stone step and the frame. That one treats me as if I was it's mother too. I dropper fed it until it could eat on it's own. Your cats sound like they're real special! Wish my inside cats were more like Barron, they're more the independent kind, you know...'don't touch me unless I wanna be, I'm resting now'. My friends always say if they get reincarnated, they want to come back as one of MY cats hahaha. Have a nice evenin' mrakobesie, it was nice hearing about your cats!

haha i always say that if i die i want to be reincarnated as a cat and be Boss's girlfriend, he is in love with me, so i might as well:D

Yes, my cats eat a lot too lol plus their food spoils fast because i feed them mostly raw food. water isn't that much of a problem except that they knock it down whild they chace each other sometimes:)

ahh, I feed mine cats kibbles - with this many kibbles is the ONLY way I could afford it

to my surprise my cats eat very cheap actually. for 3 cats i spend no more then $10 per week and all their food is organic. Turned out to be a good deal. ground beef i get is about $6-7 per lb and fish is around $5-6, one lb of each lasts them 2 weeks. plus i get them raw kibble for $10 a bag and that lasts them about 2-3 weeks. I was spending much more when i was feeding them with kibble plus canned food...

we have to buy 15 lbs bags - we get 3 bags every 2 weeks

I wanted to call from the vacation, but we didn't have a signal there becasue we were camping in the middle on the woods lol. But we called as soon as we got out of there. She was so nice that she wrote about what cats did while she was there. It was really nice to read the note she left us.
