  • Defiant-Shopping8048 i left for college my freshman year and couldn't bring my cat until i had an apt
  • sophomore year. when i came back both on winter and summer break before then my cat ran up to me
  • screaming and i picked her up and she grabbed my face and rubbed her face all over me lol. you'll be fine ahahaha.
  • iSucc At Memes Don't worry! Cats do remember people, especially those they bonded with early on.
  • Even if she's been living with others, she'll likely recognize your voice, scent, and presence when you
  • get back. She might be a little cautious at first, especially since she's always been independent, but give her time and she'll come around.
  • That bond you had doesn't just disappear. She'll know it's you!
