Cats have ESP, I swear!!! They can pick on up an owner's stress and grief. Your cats know you better than YOU do, actually. Cats are also a creature of habit, so when the household changes -- they sense it! This is why a lot of cats' behaviors change when someone returns from vacation. Cats don't like change very much! Jon comes and goes and, while they should be used to that, it's really different for them each and every time.
Raiden doesn't miss his daddy because I do all the caregiving and walking, etc. Hubby goes to work, takes off for golfing weekends, and Raiden can't tell the difference! Hubby plays with him, has to spend a few minutes with him in the morning before he leaves and gives him belly rubs when he returns. That's all he's good for! REALLY!!!!!
