Well when I am ready to leave for work, I say goodbye to each one. I have 8 and I also pet them. Once I get to work I have my Ryan as my wallpaper on my laptop do I tell my computer how handsome it is. Then my mobile phone has another picture of Ryan his first day out on a harness. Everyone in my department owns a pet or two so lunch time we talk pets and look at YouTube video's of cats and dogs. I don't have any children but my life has been filled by my cats. At around 4 each day I call home to talk to the old man on what should we have for dinner, but also ask what the cats did all day. When I walk into the house, if I get a parking spot in front of my house most know my car and they will all be at the door to greet me otherwise I just call there names and they all come to me from various places in the house. I got an assistant, 3 years ago, who has 2 small kids so when it's time to travel he always vollunteers. Which is great for me. So to answer your question, nope I don't miss my cats when at work, I miss them terribly when I'm at work.
