I was just thinking about the cat that I grew up with and now my parents have. When I went away to college he seemed to miss me more than I thought he would. Every time I called home he would be rubbing the phone and when ever I was able to make the 180 mile trip home he would sit in my lap for hours and just vibrate(not purr, vibrate) and then he would try to lay on my luggage when I tried to leave so I would take him with me. Well, since me and him always did get along, I used to tell him all the time that when I wasn't living in the dorms anymore I would take him with me. He was my cat when I grew up anyway so my parents didn't really care. Well the years passed and I've had my apartment for a year now and I never went to get him. My dad is to attached to let him go, and I have Tom so my cat needs are met. But now when I come home he always acts mad at me and stays very distant(unless food is around but I think that has very little to do with me).

I know this sounds a little out there, but do you think he knows that I broke my promise to him? I know they don't understand english but still...I have to wonder.

I believe my cat intuit what I am feeling. The cat may be mad that you never came back for her but not about the broken promise. Plus she can smell the other cat on you now.

I understand really, i had to give up a cat during my college years.I was sleeping in my car for a few months.I still feel gulity for it.
but living in a car is not fair to the cat. I know she had a long and happy life
i still saw her, but that never changed the way i feel about it.
