Three days doesn’t sound long. But apparently, it is indeed long when you’re a recently adopted orange cat waiting at home. The guy behind @the_island_keeper just got back from a short trip. And this video shows exactly what happens when his cat realizes he is finally home for good.
She climbs right onto his chest the second he hits the couch. And she is not moving. She used to be a stray. So maybe she was just making sure he was real? Either way, she is making her feelings very known, and it is adorable.
Cat stares at owner after being away for 3 days
Her dad is just sitting on the couch with his laptop open. But Mousi isn’t having any of it. She climbs right onto his lap and demands attention immediately. He starts petting her, and the laptop is basically forgotten. “I adopted Mousi 3 month ago and I left her first time 3 days alone,” he says. It was their first big test apart. And it turns out the bond is already huge.
The clip cuts to her sitting on his chest. She looks so happy to be reunited. They are just staring at each other. Seeing this cat at home in the video gives off that vibe where they decide you belong to them. He rests his face against her fur, and you can tell he’s just as obsessed. The text on screen says, “I recently adopted her, I didn’t know cats could miss you like this.”
It’s her first time being the most important thing to someone, and she’s leaning into it. One commenter said, “Yes, they do love totally and with all their hearts.” She climbs even higher to perch on his shoulder. “She loves to sit on my shoulder,” he notes. It’s her favorite spot. Another viewer pointed out, “What a daddy’s girl!!! You are a lucky man.”
The whole thing has over 36K likes, and people are just melting. “Aww kitty missed her daddy,” someone wrote. He just holds her in this big embrace while she stares up at him lovingly. “Does your cat do this too?,” he asks while his home is filled with purrs in this video. He is still figuring out this whole cat dad thing. And the internet is here for it.
