I'm missing my girlfriend, she's only been gone 5 days but I will probably end up meeting her in Chicago for Christmas, like a week before Christmas. It feels empty in my house without her. It's been 2 years since she made the trip to California to trim, and this is the most I've missed her of all the time. My cats miss her too, my boy cat has always been attached at my hip and hasn't cared about anyone else, well, I was gone a lot this summer and my girl went from thinking he was annoying and bratty (which he is quite routinely), to realizing that he's the sweetest and best companion kitty ever. Now they're really connected, and he;s pissed at me that she's gone, he will barely give me the time of day. And in a strange turnabout, my girl cat is attached at my hip, she doesn't want to leave my sight. Usually she's more aloof (not actually aloof, but she does her own thing and only sometimes wants to hang out). I didn't realize they would miss her so much, I think it freaks them out. I imagine they have some memory of when my ex left, the person they'd known and been connected to as long as me. Ever since a little bit after my girl moved in, they've grown to really love her, too. I wonder if they're scared she won't come back?
