Count Vronsky, our rescued Russian Blue, is normally an elegant and dignified cat. But when my suitcases come out, he knows I’m leaving and dignity is out the window. His antics with my suitcases tear at my heartstrings.

Awww! This is like my cat. She will lay down in front of the door when I am leaving to block my way. 🙁 It breaks my heart!
They sure know how to get to us, don’t they?
I know. They are so sweet.
Oh my, I feel with Count Vronsky and you! Awww just looking at his sweet face tear at my heartstrings as well. My kitty, Murli, can not stand me leaving either. Even when I’m just grocery shopping and come back home, her greeting is like as if she had missed me for a couple weeks at least. Sigh, and I don’t like to leave either.
It’s amazing, isn’t it, how connected we get.
Yes, it really is??
Awe! Looks like a cat I use to have. He is gone now, unfortunately, but he was a love!
I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine being without the Count. He has such a personality!
shadow passed before we left Calif…. Which seems a lifetime ago. He is missed as are all my other furbabies.
“Take me with you, please!”
Oh my!!
I meant that as a caption to the photographs. I personally do not want to go with you. I will stay here, thank you!
I can see how he’d make it hard to go anywhere without him. 🙂
So hard! He has a dozen faces he can make to let me know how he feels.
Awww. Such cute pictures. Too bad you have to leave him behind.
Thank you. It’s easy to take cute pictures of him. And it was just a short trip. We’re back together again.
We’re just the same! And why would you want to leave, anyway??
We are, aren’t we? And good question!
It is the same with me. Coco hates when I leave too and I would have to pack secretly inside the closet, so she wouldn’t know I am going. Then when I am going, she has that sad face, that my heart aches. 🙁
I usually gather all my clothes, etc ahead of time and then stuff them into my suitcase as fast as I can.
What a handsome boy! I have the same problem with mine.. They just don’t understand how we could possibly leave them behind!
The Count says thank you for the compliment. And that he doesn’t understand either. 🙂
Great looking cats!
Thank you!!
Poor baby! Does he snuggle you when you return home?
He does for the first two days, then he remembers he was supposed to be angry and ignores me for a couple days, and then finally things get back to normal.
Our first cat, Prissy, used to sit on our suitcases before we left Texas twice a year heading to Virginia. What was worse was that after one disastrous episode with a cat sitter, she seemed to sense she would be boarded at the vet’s for a couple of weeks and meowed and looked at us so piteously, we almost took her with us. But 1500 miles in a car with a cat? No way! That would be cruel to all of us.
Yes, the only thing worse than leaving them is cooping them up for a long car trip. I just had to do that because we moved. I don’t want to do it again any time soon!
I’m afraid this is how Kali is going to act when we leave….she did this last year and I left with my head hung low.

There must be a site on-line for cats to share how to make their humans feel bad about leaving. They all seem to know the tricks.

Thank you for the reblog!!
Beautiful cat. Looks like my Merlin. The Russian Blues are all beauties.
They really are beautiful, aren’t they? And they have such characters.
They usually let me leave, they know, shortly i’m back. What is fun with ours, when I arrive and both welcoming in the hall! 🙂
It is wonderful having them welcome you home, isn’t it? I love to see their faces peeking around the stairs.
Oh yes, they show so damn much love. Fun.
I always pack at the last minute……..so as not to freak out the fur-child. Mmmmmmm, sadface.
Funny how they train us, isn’t it?
What a beautiful boy. He must know it’s hard for you to leave him (and uses it to the max).
Thank you. And yes he does. I think he practices in the mirror when I’m not looking.
what a sweet baby! so cute. <3
Thank you!
My cat does this every time I pack to go anywhere. If you visit my Facebook page, the wallpaper image shows him doing this. 😀

Cute Post And Pictures.
Thank you for the reblog!
Your Welcome
Mine do the same! Tugs right on the ol’ heart strings 😛
It really does!
My cat is similar in the way she acts when my family gets out suitcases. Although we leave the suitcases closed until we’re ready to pack then close them again once packed. If we don’t get packed right away, we close the suitcases until we continue packing again. Haven’t had cat problems yet. Might want to try this. Reblogged on my main site COUNTRY LIVING at wordpress.com and shared on LinkedIn.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll try it next time.
When you try it, you’ll have to let me know if the idea worked or not.
I will!
awwwwww adowable cat awe the best awnt they
They are. I don’t know what we’d do without them.
