The Surprising Reason Your Cat Can’t Seem to Leave Your Side — It’s Not What You Think!
A Sick or Stressed Cat May Follow You Around
Another reason cats follow their owners around is because they’re stressed or anxious. Cats are creatures of habit and like routine. As a result, any change — big or small — in their daily routine can cause stress. Similarly, cats with separation anxiety will often follow their pet parents around since they are worried that they’re going to leave them any second. Big changes in a cat’s life, like moving to a different home or adding a new pet, can also cause stress. Other signs of stress in cats include going outside the litter box, excessive grooming, destructive behavior and changes in appetite. Try to remove the stressor, provide hiding places for your cat and ask your vet for advice if you’re concerned about your cat’s anxiety.
