    When I was in the Navy, my cat would hide in my bag I took on deployments. Every time I came home, this is the treatment I got.

    All equally surprised by the sudden arrival of the soldier — the cat, wife and her boyfriend.

    I’ve got two cats. One of them runs up to me as soon as I get home and follows me around all evening until I go to bed, the other doesn’t even flinch.

    I love them both.

    Every time I came home for the summer during college, the family cats would be all over me purring and rubbing their faces on me ❤️

      After I moved out, every time I would come visiting back home my cat would casually stroll just in front of the door, look at me, and disappear for the next 12 hours or so, to show she didn’t need me back. I would usually find her back on my bed during the night 🥲 I miss her…

        Wait, that’s the behaviour of my cat… Whatever she thinks, I feel sorry… for not been there to be her bed.

    Many years ago I was working for a company that sent me on business trips. When I left, my cat would stay with friends, whom he loved. Every time I came back from a trip, he would snub me. For two to three days, he would spend every moment sitting in the same room as me with his back to me. He wouldn’t look at me. If I tried to pet him, he would run off, only to come back and resume snubbing me a few minutes later. He would take food from me, of course. He wasn’t crazy. Then, after those two or three days, he would then forgive me and resume normal snuggles, but for those couple of days, I was dead to him.

    Nah. Cat would be yelling like an air horn, until it had made clear its displeasure for being abandoned.

    Then it would turn around and go hide and be offended until it got hungry, or heard the can opener.

    I put the cat tree next to my front door so my kitty could affection attack my head and shoulders instead of tripping me when I got home from work.
