People are so weird and performative about pets.
I promise it is okay to love and appreciate your pet as a pet and animal without unnecessarily projecting human thought and intention onto them.
Or they were just bored.
I really miss my dog now.
If a random stranger did this of course you'd call the police.
My cat has an automatic feeder and still tries to dig me out of my blankets sometimes. One time I was trying to sleep and she kept rubbing on my face so I pulled my blankets over my head and wrapped them around with a tiny breathing hole for my mouth and nose. So she started shoving her paw in the hole to dig me out. So for those that think the cat just wants food, she HAD food. She just also wanted to rub her face all over my face.
better than her butthole
Oe they want to check up on you. Especially a dog with herding traits. Just like laying across your feet unser the table having a nap. Try to get up and they will notice and keep controlling you
Just like the OP, except then my dog vomits on the floor and leaves again.
Then didn't find the smell of doritos on my fingers and left. So selfless.
We call animals or humans from hundreds of years ago that never went far from their home simple, yet they only want for what they need really, and don’t fuck anything up. I’m envious.
This was clearly written with AI.
Eh. Posts like these existed since before Facebook. You'd get emails along these lines from people, asking you to forward it to 43 of your most loved ones.
I don't say it's AI because it's substanceless feel-good BS engagement bait.
The structure this post follows is the exact formula that AI chatbots follow when prompted to write something like this. It was not written by a human.
I've only ever seen this with the accompanying doodle of a cat with the speech bubble, "Let's go see what the two legged cuck is up to."
Unless its a cat obviously. Then it just wants more food. Or maybe need a door opened.
You joke, but cats are definitely capable of love for their humans. My cats love me like no other. My male cat can’t stand to be away from me. He gets separation anxiety when I’m not around and needs to lay on me for hours upon hours.
People who say that cats don’t need their humans have clearly never had a cat and are basing it on fake beliefs.
I've had cats.
Really depends on the cat.
It's love if it's a cat too, it's just flipped.
For a dog, it's coming to see where its master is. For a cat, it's coming to see where its pet monkey is.
Love of food
6am? Time to sing the Song of Food.
Definitely not quiet. Especially when you were in the bathroom and you closed the door.
Or, in the case of my cats, were cold and knew I was the warmest object available.
Which is why they stop "checking on me" in the summer.
My old cat likes to be in the same room as people but at a distance. He'll follow around a few minutes behind once he realizes you've left for the other room for longer than grabbing something and coming back. Doesn't really matter what he's doing even if just sleeping he just wants the company, at the other side of the room
He's making sure his property hasn't wondered off. /s
My 17 y/o boy Charlie would do this too. It's a good feeling.
My favorite is when they put their head on your leg or arm to rest. So sweet...
My dog only does this to beg food from me and it's very effective. Like you might forget about him if he's not physically touching you, reminding you to share.
Dog tax, him doing exactly this: 
My cat walks in from another room, sees that I'm there, and then turns around and leaves again
Making the rounds, premises nominal, nothing to report.
Just checking the food ape is still there.
And they are hungry 😋
if they're "looking" for you, they just wanna make sure the foodputerouter is still around.
Or they need to go pee outside
That’s optional 😂
no coping as human coping
Mine definitely came in because he's a hungry labrador and wants food or is trying to convince me to take him on a walk 😅
One of my coworkers said to me once that a day of our lives is like a week of our pet's life. Since then I make sure to show them affection so much more throughout the day.
Then they take your hand to get you somewhere they need before taking your place on the couch... (Yes, my dog was a smartass)
