Why does a cat stalk its owner?

Sometimes a person finds it funny when a cat follows him everywhere and doesn’t leave him for a minute.

But why might an animal behave in this way?

Yes, this interesting feature of furry pets amuses many owners, but perhaps they will be surprised to learn why the cat behaves this way.

Most often, a cat chases a person in an open area, for example, if it was taken to the country.

There the cat is unlikely to do its own business; most likely, it will not leave the person’s side for a single step.

At this point, the cat ignores the environment around itself and focuses on the person for a long time. And even if the owner goes somewhere far away, the cat will still accompany him.

And if a person leaves the house, the cat will become anxious and will meow, trying to get the person to return to a safe area.

Perhaps the cat just wants to eat, and that is why it is trying to attract human attention in this way. The animal is trying to distract the owner from his business so that he will feed it faster.

If the animal's bowl is full, you should pay attention to whether there is any garbage or dirt in it, because cats are very clean creatures, and they will eat only if their bowl is clean. Also, a cat is sometimes confused by the lack of fresh food in its bowl, you need to add at least a handful of food before the next feeding, so that the cat is happy.

Or perhaps the animal has simply become very attached to the person and does not want to leave him alone.

For example, if the new territory is unfamiliar to the cat and it is very worried about it. Many people are mistaken in thinking that cats are independent animals that do not need humans.

If a cat has grown up close to its owner, of course it will treat him with some semblance of love, and this is how a cat shows its feelings.
