Why is my cat so attached, talkative, and protective of me only?

Your cat was probably being very protective of you because he felt that you were being threatened. This can be a normal response for a pet that is very attached to a specific person. If he exhibits this behavior again you should remove Kitty from the situation to protect you and to teach him that his behavior is not acceptable. If Kitty starts showing more aggressive tendencies more frequentlt you may want to consult your vet for specific training advice and/or medication to help him calm down.

From what you are describing I sounds like you and Milo have a strong bond which is wonderful. Cats can vary greatly in their personalities and attachment levels, just like humans. if this behaviour isn’t new, I would not be concerned. If however, Milo is acting differently and you are concerned please post another question in the forum describing these new behaviours and I will help you further. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Some cats are just 'one person cats' meaning they naturally don't care for anyone other than 'their' person. This sounds like Lourdes personality to me! There are dogs (and probably humans) just like this as well. I would not worry about it as long as you are ok with the situation. Please post again if you have any further questions!

She loves you. Cats are, contrary to common opinion, not solitary animals. Cats love their owners, some more , some less and some get so attached that they do not want to be separated from their "mommy". I have one like that too. She always has to be around me and when I am not in sight or away she meows and looks for me (with a sock in her mouth....)

These are pretty common behaviors for a young cat. Cats are often nocturnal/playful at night, and the its very rare for cats to greet their people when they come home. As far as following you around, and crying for you when you're gone, you are probably her favorite person! I don't think you have anything to worry about with her. You can add some environmental enrichment things to help keep her occupied/ entertained, and this may help. See the following website for some great information that I think will really help you: https://indoorpet.osu.edu/cats Thanks for asking PetCoach!

I’m sorry to hear about your cat. Perhaps he is protecting another cat (do you have a female in heat)? Perhaps he is not feeling well. Or perhaps he is just taking out some male aggression on you? If he is not neutered yet, I recommend that. You can also try a cat toy to see if he just needs to get some prey-drive type behavior out of his system. Otherwise, talk to your vet to see if there is something we’re missing or something else we need to try. Best of luck to you and your boy!

He probably was taken from his mother very early and is a sensitive kitty. He needs lots of TLC and pets and wants to be talked to and snuggle. I would take him to a vet for a general exam to make sure there is not a hidden health condition and once that is ruled out, it is likely that he just needs a lot of attention and TLC.
