When I get up, my cat gets up. Why?

My cats follow me around the house, from room to room. And, when I sit down in front of my computer, they'll settle down on the back of my chair or somewhere nearby. But, if I have to get up to go to another room, they'll automatically follow me. Do all cats do that? Why can't they stay planted in one spot? After all these years, don't they know that I'll be back in a minute or two?

I have seven cats so one of them is always following me from one room or another. I have one cat that loves to steal my chair as soon as he sees me get up.

That's too funny! That's usually what my husband does. If I get up for even a minute, he gets online and starts surfing. Maybe the cats picked up their habits from them.

I think they enjoy keeping you company, my cat for instances, when she's really sleepy but I go some other place inthe house, will come after me and find a new (closer) spot to sleep in.

My cats do that too, they probably dont want to miss out in case you go and do somrthing exciting.

I think your cats like you and they want to follow you because you may give them foods.
