My 2 year old neutered male, is in love (i believe). My husband and him are inseperable. I have never mistreated him, I play with him and pet him when he comes around looking for attention........but with my hubby the cat acts as though he has a crush.
Buddy, sits at the door and waits for him to come home. I can walk in the house and buddy could care less. When hubby gets home, buddy talks and talks to him. He follows him around the house chatting at him, to the basement any where and everywhere. When my husband starts putting his coat on, the cat is trying to get out the door with him.
They sleep together, watch tv together..its almost amusing. I understand that my husband is the enabler and allows this to happen and probably encourages the affection. I have asked him to be stricter, but he has the biggest heart of anyone I know, and can't bring himself to do it.
If my husband is sleeping and the door is shut, he will run from a distance and headbutt the door till it gets opened.
My problem is (other then it is annoying), my husband is not around much in the summer, he spends alot of time at the lake. This means, buddy and I will be together alot. Buddy sometimes cries if myHubby is gone out for the day and im home, or he just hides in the closet.
Im anticipating buddy is going to have seperation anxiety.
Any tips on starting the transition now!
We have had buddy since November, and the girl who I got him from says he was fonder of her husband, but not to these lengths!!
