Cats are naturally very sensitive and delicate creatures that become attached to their owners even if they appear otherwise!

This is based on their trust in your presence next to them, and therefore, when you disappear or leave the pet for long periods, something called Separation Anxiety begins to appear!

Does this condition occur at all ages or at a specific age?

This condition usually starts after the end of childhood and the beginning of puberty From Kitten to Adult!

This is because your relationship with the pet is not strong when it is young, but after it stays with you for a while, it grows up and gets used to you and sees your presence as something essential in its life.

Also, when he is young, he becomes more attached to his mother during the breastfeeding period, but after that, he considers you his loyal friend *in Timon's voice*!
