Fairly recently, Cricket has become a social eater. Not that she won't eat on her own, but particularly in the evening, she wants company. I go to bed early so I can read or watch tv for awhile. At some point, she will come in and start meowing for me to come with her over to the other bedroom where her food dish is. Or when I come out of the bathroom, she's waiting for me and will lead me in there. I sit with her while she eats.
I noticed that this behavior only seemed to start after Swanie passed in early October. I'm assuming it has something to do with losing him, but I don't know.
Any ideas why she would suddenly decide she needed someone with her while she eats? I don't mind (unless I'm really really tired - but I go anyway). She's such a sweetie, and she was such a comfort to me when Swanie died, I'm happy to do this if it is a comfort to her. But I'm really curious why all of a sudden.
