Squee does, but Scratch doesn't. Probably because Scratch hardly sleeps in my bed anymore.

Are you kidding me? Spike can spend the entire afternoon curled up on my lap, but if he leaves the room, he forgets where he left me and has to call me until I call him back. (Spike is a special cat.) I should probably point out that we live in a one-bedroom apartment, so it's not like there's a lot of places to lose me in. (Nor am I easy to lose -- it's not like we have a closet to Narnia or anything ...)

Spike doesn't just lose us at night, though. He loses us any time he leaves the room we're in. He can't remember which room he left us in and gets panicky. It would be far too much work for him to search the four rooms plus hallway we have in the apartment, so he just stays wherever he is and cries for assistance. And J and I, being the suckers that we are, immediately come to his aid.

Jck has done this from when he was a small kitten, and still does it today..We just call it his "night time ritual.".

Ari usually knows where to find me, but has "called" on occasion. Once I called to him from one room and he ran past the room I was in looking for me. That confused him!

It's difficult to lose Tomas, I'd have to pry him off me first.
He does hate being separated from me by a door, cries and claws at it till I let him out or in. One of his nick names is 'the separation anxiety kitten'.
Sho keeps track of me, usually checks in to make sure I'm where I should be then goes about his business.

None of our current crew do that, but our RB Nibs did it constantly. Not at night, thank God, because he was a Siamese with a classic Siamese yowl.
But several times a day he'd find himself at one end of the house with no humans around and let off one of the yowls to find us. Normal response was "Oh, Niblet, put a sock in it!" and he'd come running for scritches. Silly boy.

Same here! Lucky does this, sometimes when I just left him sleeping. I think he has nightmares when he does this at night. It's too cute

Petunia lost me in the bathroom today. The bathroom!!! She was crying like she was being killed while I was in the shower. She then got herself so worked up that she peed on the floor. I kept talking to her, but she still thought I was missing. She is so weird!

Maybe its because I'm a...
Tilly wails until she can see us if she gets hungry

Archie, bless his cotton socks, gets lost in a small 6 room house and "forgets" how to open doors he'd been through only that morning. He then calls us until we rescue him and carry him down the stairs.
Tilly has us all so well trained. She doesn't like Archie as much as she used to but if she can't see him she climbs on top of the cupboard and Screams until he wakes up from his peaceful nap and hurries downstairs.
Of course, cos she's so high up he can't see her, and she's shut up by then so he just sits on the stairs looking baffled.

Wow, our cats definitely are weird!!!

Now that I think of it, my old RB cat Coco used to do this as well. Not sure if she'd lost us though, or if she was just noisy. She's Siamese and has a real Siamese yowl, so would run around the house at night time yowling at us, and she'd go to anyone who made a noise - even if we just yelling for her to shut up.


I think she was just annoying though

Pearl is that way, too! She can be curled up in a deep sleep, snoring away (in a ladylike manner, of course), but somehow she knows if I tiptoe down the hall and lock myself into the bathroom. She's there in moments, crying as if it's the end of the world until I come out again.

What a darlin!

None of mine get "lost" but Milo has a quirk that has become a ritual. (One that I HATE!!) I actually posted about this a few weeks ago b/c it drives me crazy! Around 4-7 in the morning, Milo will come into the bedroom, go to the closet at the foot of the bed, and yowl and scratch at the door. When I wake up, call him, and pat the bed he runs over for love and few minute nap. Then he is up and usually goes straight to the garbage can to knock it over, make a little noise, then goes back downstairs. I think he just gets bored and wants my attention!

Whenever I'm somewhere in the house involving a closed door (the bathroom or when I'm changing in the bedroom) the two cats will lie down outside of the door. They just wait there, for either me to come out or just to be close. It's always so cute.
