She is very attached to me. She follows me everywhere and will come to me before she goes to anybody else. When I leave the room, she will leave. My mom says that when I leave to go to school or whatever she'll sit by the door and cry for a long time. She doesn't do that for anybody else in my family and we all treat her very well. My mom says that she has never seen a cat act like this and I was wondering if it was normal.
 
I know the question was meant for Kat, but I do have cats and experience in the neediness that my cats seem to show.

Both our cats do similar things to what your cat does. The little one has gotten to the point if I am home by myself and have my door shut, he will slam his body up against the door while meowing.

My older cat who grew up with me is so attached to me, it is scary. She cries at night when I go to bed as if she has forgotten where my bedroom is and if I go away on a trip when I come back she is hoarse when she meows because all she did was meow when I was gone. She follows me everywhere, I can't escape her. She has this scratching thing in the computer room and refuses to go scratch if someone other than me is in the computer room.

Strangely, cats are more independent than we are lead to believe. I have friends whose cats do the same things mine do and yours does so it isn't just a unusual thing.
Just my two cents. I have had a few cats, longterm, and have many friends with cats so my information is pretty decent.
 
Cats are Cool!

Had several over the last 35 years and if they are well cared for and kept inside, they will live for many years and provide great companionship.

I had one cat that lived 18 years and another almost 17. And they have gotten along well with the dog too!

I now have an all white long haired odd-eye (one eye gold the other blue) and she is about 1 1/2 years old. She will probably out live me. :D

Hi 66 :) That cat sounds normal to me :D

My cat is of unknown age and adopted from an emergency vet. I believe she was abused badly before we got her and it took more than a year for her to warm up to people. She sleeps in the bed, plays with my Maltese and follows hubby around like a new puppy. And she is now a sweet, loving indoor/outdoor cat who always knows where she is loved. Good hunter too!

I used to bring home barn kittens from the farm down the road when I was a kid, tamed them and kept them as long as daddy would allow. Now remember, this was WAY back in my younger years and my parents couldn't afford Vet care.

I bet that your cat bonded with you because you showed her the most attention when you first got her.

Please make sure she gets to the vet as often as needed. and
PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
 
I didn't pay any attention to her when she was younger. I played with her brother alot before he died.

Ya, but she knew you loved her and bonded with you. I bet she substituted you for her brother. Still sounds normal to me B)
 
I though everybody knew that there is no such thing as an abnormal cat; only abnormal humans.
Still chuckling about the kitty bath thread.
