Cat separation anxiety


Cats: I reckon that cats have separation and abandonment issues for life if they are taken away from their mum too soon. I think this because Wednesday, the beautiful little grey cat (here she is, owning my pillow), has some strange habits. For example while all cats knead a bit with their paws before settling down, Wednesday does this excessively and for ages after lying down and even dozing off. Since she uses claws as well, this can be really annoying. She also burrows into warm little holes, like the one made by your neck when you lay down. I reckon she is trying to recreate how she would have behaved as a tiny kitten to her mum when she wanted a sleep or some milk.
