Do You Ever Go Away and...

...miss your kitties more than you miss your spouse, significant other, family members, etc???

I'm in India for this week and leaving early next week, but each night I talk to my boyfriend, he puts me on speaker so I can say good night to my kitties. I miss them so much, it's going to make me so happy to see them when I get home!

Am I a dork or do you feel the same?

I speak to my Mum's kitty every time I speak to her!!!

I miss my kitty!

Nawww..

I didn't go out at night or sped a night at a friends in 3 years.. because I didn't want to leave my dog.. but this year I finally submitted and went out.. I missed them so much I didn't even sleep because I was wondering if the kitties and my dog were alright.

But then again.. I have no life.

Aww that is so sweet to miss your kitties if i was in your shoes i would definately miss mine aswell. hope you have pictures of them with you to keep you company over there, have a safe trip back.

Oh, yes!! I do miss my kitties so much when I am gone. I have been travelling alot this year, and that is probably the worst part about travelling so much, otherwise, I love to be on the go!

I travel every other weekend to go see my boyfriend and i miss my baby all weekend long..i constantly wonder what shes doing, etc....and when i'm on the way home i go see her before i bring in my bags!!! lol Shes my precious angel!

Absolutely! I think it's only natural. Your boyfriend can take care of him self, but a kitty is so innocent and vulnerable! I can't even imagine going on vacation and leaving him...but I'll have to eventually. Luckily, my roommate is somewhat competant enough, but if we had to go somewhere together, I think I'd lose my mind.

No you are not a dork ! LOL!!! I could care less how the humans are(not that I dont love them, but just the fact that I know they know I am ok) I think the cats feel like I abandoned them or something- and you miss them so much because you cannot talk to them like you can your bf etc... So no you are not a DORK! I feel exactly the same way, unless we are both dorks!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL!

Of course! Doesn't everybody?

There was this time when my parents were gone for a whole week and my aunt let me sleepover at her place for one night.

That was the first night Joey was left by himself at home for a whole night..I actually cried because I was so worried about him and had trouble sleeping that whole night.

hahaha thats exactly what I was thinking!!
I actually had a photo of the boys with me in the birthing suite when having Jasmine and when I am away I always call and leave messages for the boys - DH always laughs at me when we get home as there are 15 messages for them

hey Taryn good to hear from you - hope India is going okay - missing ya girl, so hurry back home!

when i went away i missed my kitties so bad!

i could email my family and friends but without opposable thumbs the cats were unable to type

i wont go to oregon for the holidays to visit my family cuz i would miss my precious Kallie way too much and when i do go ima talk to my vet about flying her over there with me (that is if it is not too much stress on her) besides my mom and sister want to meet the new addition to the family

Well considering I live alone with my cats, of course I miss them more than anyone else. They are my constant companions.

I think that is exactly how I am feeling right now. Cassie had a URI and Napoleon had some tummy issues before I left, so I felt like I left them at their most vulnerable, plus we just moved a few days prior so their worlds are rocked and then I leave for two weeks.

BF says they sleep with him each night on my side of the bed and during the day when he's home, they act up so they can get his attention. He swears it's because they miss me It's not like he can tell them, she'll be back next week. I just don't want them to think I've abandoned them

Oh my goodness! I would probably do that too...BF puts me on the phone with them each night...he has me on speaker and I call them their nicknames and give kisses and call them my babies...they sniff the phone or Cassie starts rolling around on the floor like Madonna (that's her "sexy cat" cue, which means she's happy).

Only cat lovers know what you mean when you say, I leave messages for my cats when they are away!
