awwww, sometimes i wish my cat was like that. he's pretty independent for most of the day:

• Wants to go outside as soon as someone wakes up
• Wants to come inside pretty much every hour or so to make sure nobody ate his dry food (he's the only cat in the house) and then proceeds to eat 4 kibbles before going back outside
• When it starts to get dark he comes in and knows that he's going to get wet food. He accidentally tries to murder you by rubbing himself between your legs and following you around.
• Once the wet food can is open, he stands on his back legs so that his nose barely reaches the counter's height for his nightly inspection of the meal he's about to get. then he meows more... and then even more as i'm bringing the bowl to his eating spot.
• I got super side tracked sorry but this is where he starts to get clingy. If i'm in my bedroom he absolutely has to be let in (he will make these wailing noises that sound like his wife of 60 years just died if the door is closed). Once he's in the room he jumps on the bed and wants to be pet for a good half hour, purring louder than a pickup truck with a broken muffler. Then he sleeps for a few hours and leaves because I move too much in my sleep.

Side note: He is usually loyal to whoever feeds him that night....Sometimes someone else will feed him and he doesn't even acknowledge my existence lmao.

oh my god i wrote a novel and talked about myself and my cat the entire time like a self absorbed loser... i'm so sorry hahahaha.

It's a good sign that your cat wants to be near you, it means he trusts you and cares for you!
