We all know how aloof cats are, that they have an independent character and a mind of their own. They are definately not as needy nor attention seeking like those of a dog. Infact the cat don't go to you but you go to them. It's like you don't own them but they own you. And I begin to wonder if that's true ???
Somehow Mooch had changed from his cat nature to those similiar of a dog. Perhaps it's the stress of the move that's affecting him. Perhaps it's new surrounding, perhaps it's the new environment. But Mooch had certainly behave like a dog now.
For the past few days, Mooch had been following me around the house like my shadow. And wherever I go, whichever room I am in, he's right there behind me. I swear sometimes he even meow at me in frustration cause I wouldn't stay in one room.
At night, Mooch would sleep by my bedroom door but the moment Paul leaves for work, Mooch would jump up the bed with me and it's no longer the corner of the bed like he used to, it's right next to me, right next to my face. Yah, imagine me waking up with his face right next to mine or his butt right at my face. How about the times when he'll sit outside the bathroom when I'm taking a shower ? Or even pawing at the bathroom door when I take too long. Even when I'm cooking, he seems to be my assistant chef and he doesn't go outdoor unless I'm out there with him.
Yesterday the cable guys came and Mooch just hide under the bed and I had to coax him out and when he's out, he stick right next to me. I'm beginning to worry about him cause he doesn't even go out anymore. Despite how much I hate the sun, I've been spending 30 mins each day outside with him. That's when he'll only be outside long enough. Even last night when I'm sitting on the floor chatting to my girlpals online, Mooch was sitting right next to me and kept rubbing his head against my knee. It's sweet but it's also worrying at the same time.
If he's alone doing his "business", he doesn't take more than 10 mins before he start knocking on the door and want to come in. *sigh* I hope Mooch would start getting used to the new surroundings. It kind of worrying when he's staying indoor so much and have no interest to explore the world out there.
This is Mooch's first trip out. Believe it or not, I have to physically carry him and put him on my lap for a while before he jumps out and venture. Even though so, he kept checking where I am.

that is weird! huh? interesting! is he still waking you up at all hours in the night or is he being good? im sure he will return to his old exploring ways as soon as he gets used to his new surroundings. maybe he acted like that when he first moved in with my mom? i dont remember if he acted that way when we moved from jacksonville? oh moocher! what are we going to do with you?
At times he still wake us up at 5am but I've read in the Cat Behaviour site to tell us to ignore him so he knows that his cries will not be entertained and he'll stop it. However, at times he doesn't wake us up at all. I don't know what's with him either.
But it's sweet sometimes to see him rub his face against my hand and he look so adorable.
It was so good to see him on the slide. He is so beautiful.
I bet he is afraid you are going to leave him, after a while, like I did after a few days there at your house. and then I left. Never to be seen again!
He is not going to let you out of his sight until he is sure you are not leaving him...
He said," Oh no, not again. I am not going to get fooled again!"
And no Sommer, he didn't act that way when he first moved up here, but he sure did when ever I left him for a few days, and then came home. He never left my side for a few weeks. And yes, Dee, he would get upset at me when I didn't stay put long enough for him to get his cat naps in. ha ha
wow..waking up to see Moocher right next to you !!!
Dee, you are a changed woman in fact !!
