Hi everyone!
About a month ago, I adopted a pair of bonded senior cats from an animal shelter. They have adjusted well to their new home and having me as their new person. Unfortunately, their story is somewhat sad. They had a comfortable home for most of their lives, but their previous owner had to go into assisted living and had to surrender the cats. They spent several months in a no-kill shelter until I met and adopted them. My issue is that one of the cats has gotten supper attached and clingy. I don’t mind having him by my side when I am home however, anytime I get ready to leave and run an errand, the cat goes into a state of panic. Right now, I still work from home due to the pandemic, but am slated to return to the office in a couple of months. I am very worried how my cat is going to react to me being gone for most of the day. I currently try to make an effort each day to leave my home for a little while to show my cat that I will always come home, but he is still having panic episodes. I’m looking for advise on how I can get him prepared for my return to work. Thanks!
