Owner Sets Up A Cam To Check On Her Cat, Finds “Heartbreaking Evidence” Of How Her Cat Missed Her
Cat owners love cats, but do cats love their owners? Cats sometimes get accused (by people who don’t know them very well, probably) of appearing nonchalant when they have to show their feelings towards their owners. How many times has it happened that you swear to your friend that your cat actually likes you, and when you want to “prove” it, the cat doesn’t seem to care? Perhaps too many.
One cat lover Alexa (Instagram handle speechhiccups) inadvertently tested the idea of whether cats really miss their owners when one night, she went to her parents’ for a Christmas party and left her cat Glenn at home. Just to make sure that the cat was okay, she installed a surveillance camera to check up on him regularly.

When she came back, she was greeted by a loving, longing, meowing cat that seemingly was calling out “mom” to her. As she reviewed the tape, she could see that the cat immediately went to the door as he recognized the car coming into the driveway. It was heartbreaking for her to see how her cat reacted to her absence, but Alexa understood that it was all because her cat loved her. When she realized she had the long sought-for evidence, she shared it on TikTok, and the rest is internet history.

On her TikTok video description, she said “the catcam was originally supposed to make the owner feel better about leaving Glenn at home,” and yet it turns out it had the opposite effect: “It was heartbreaking! We’re looking to get another cat soon so he’ll have company in the future.”
Alexa came, and the day was saved

Glenn walked his way into Alexa’s life as a kitten

Here’s some info about Glenn the cat and his owner. Alexa is a speech therapist and digital artist from the US. Glenn is about 2 years old, and what’s peculiar, he walked his way into Alexa’s life when she was at her job one day. As every upstanding citizen should, Alexa sought for Glenn’s owners, but since it turned out the cat was a stray, she took him with her. And they’ve become inseparable ever since.

This is so sad. And a little cruel. But ... Now that Alexa knows how much Glenn misses her, she needs to find a Kitty-Buddy for him. Sure - it could go sideways, but the "experts" have FINALLY figured out that cats do like company of other cats. Someone to cuddle with while Alexa is out. This is why when adopting from shelters or getting kittens it is best to get Bonded Buddies, and they're out there. A pair of older cats that have lost their home to death. Kittens that are looking for homes and have siblings that love each other You save two lives, and get twice as much love right back! 30 years of cats have taught me so much.

He looks like my Baz, who is now 18 years old (he’s lived with us since he was 9 weeks old). The vet says Bazzy’s healthy enough to live past 20. We also have 3 other cats (one’s still a kitten) and a dog, so Bazzy’s never lacking companionship—-even though he’s kind of a grumpy old man and doesn’t always want it. I’ve never had a pet who lived this long, so when he finally does go, he will leave a large hole in our household. My husband brought him home shortly after our first anniversary, so he’s been with us almost as long as we have been “us”. I wish our pets all lived a lot longer than they do, because it’s just so hard thinking about how much shorter their lives are than ours.

She would throw herself on the floor in front of him making the most scary noises! He'd just run away, and she'd chase him! My parents always got our cats fixed before ownership! So I had never thought of it! Dummy me! And once the vet confirmed it, we waited until we could fix her, and did. Except the damage was done, and she now despised Taz with a female cats' passion, and bullied him! But we did some behavior training, and they eventually got along. We had them for 19 years! But Taz always got all things first, to show her his dominant status, only. She never believed it, and was the queen kitty! Once he passed, she became a different cat, loving and funny and a really sweet girl! So we made a boo boo. But please, get a buddy for your cat, but make it conditional on you current cat, accepting and loving the new kitty, before. It's final!

They say, never get one cat. Especially if they are a bonded pair. Or you are told, they need to be the only pet in the home! Cats almost always do better in pairs, even if you get one, then another and introduce them! Except our cats! Our Taz was lonely we knew, so we wanted to get him a buddy. So we did. Except, she should've been the only cat! She turned out to be an alpha for sure, and Taz was a very submissive boy, and a big lover! He adored his daddy! Fiona? Well, she was about 16 weeks, came in to the house and owned it! Made herself known, explored every space. She also loved Taz, until she came in to heat ( we didn't realize until someone told us!) and she had the usual behaviors! Taz was an animal control kitten and neutered before the hubs got him! Had no idea, poor boy, what she wanted! He had some instinctual behaviors, so he'd grab her by the neck and bite her, and then run away! Poor dude!
