Could roxy love me that much!!a little worried

[heidiho]

Ok,so i dont know why she is doing this but am worried..The days i do work i leave at 8:00am and dont get home til 5:00 my mom has been telling me the whole time i am gone she stya in the bed under the covers and does not come out til come home.which yeah when i walk in the door i dont even have to speak and i can hear her collar jingling as she comes out to the lving room.mom says she goes in there throughout the day and will pet her,and pull covers back and talk to her as she pets her,but still nothing,she wont come out.Now when i am home she will let them pet her(which she does do when mom goes in room)she will lay in kitchen basically she will stay out..I am feeling really bad about this,that is over 9 hours she is staying under the blanket...honey and roxy have come nose to nose with no incidents,honey still hisses at her and swats,but they have walked up to each other and smelled each other faces so on that end there is progress.but i am feeling like crap now when i have to work

how long have you had her and she is a cat? i seem to remeber

[heidiho]

2 years, got her when she was about 3 to 4 weeks old.she is a cat.

Yup, she loves you that much . Snowball was like that too, when I left for work he would howl, go to bed and not move until my expected arrival time, then go to a front window wait for my car to come in the driveway, then run to the door. Don't feel guilty, though, it is routine and they get acustomed to it.

I have a 14 yr old toy poodle who does the same thing. She won't eat or drink until I come in the door. She won't play, won't move from her spot on the couch.
As long as when you are home she is doing all things cat she is ok. Remember, she has had lots of upheavals in her life lately. It may take a while before she comes around again. JMO

Nothing to worry about, as long as she is behaving 'normally' while you're in the house. Roxy is still adjusting and working out her relationship with Honey which they will do eventually, and settling in. Just let it be. If Roxy was 3-4 weeks old when you got her, she is still "your baby" and extremely attached to you as she was taken from her mother too soon (should have been at least 8-10 wks). Just give her lots of love and encouragement and assure tell her that you're not leaving her and this is "home". I always say to my cats when I have to leave, "I'll be back in an hour", or "late afternoon". I don't know why it works, but it seems to, and often cats will be waiting when I come in the door.
