'Will he still love me the same': Pawrent fears their affectionate cat bonded with the cat sitter while on vacation, but finds their furry friend's love never left

This hooman adopted a sweet, sociable boy who's basically the feline version of a golden retriever. From the moment he arrived, he strutted around like he owned the place, then hopped straight into lap life without hesitation. Guests get the same red-carpet treatment. Sniffs, purrs, head boops, and instant friendship. He's the cat who never met a stranger, which is adorable… unless you're his slightly jealous pawrent.

Because while he follows his hooman everywhere, cuddles at bedtime, and grooms with way too much enthusiasm, he's also a total social butterfly. Now that his pawrent's been away for two weeks, the cat sitter is getting daily doses of affection too. Cue the pawrent's FOMO: "Am I being replaced? Does he even miss me?"

But here's the thing. Cats may spread the love, but they never forget their true furmily. When this hooman comes home, they can expect the full welcome committee: purrs, cuddles, maybe even some overzealous grooming. This isn't a breakup. It's just proof their boy's heart is big enough for everyone.
