She just about made me crazy. It was kind of sweet though. My neighbor who checked on her for me said that whenever I went on a 3 or 4 day trip, the cat would start crying at the door about 1-2 hours before I pulled into the driveway. My place was about an hour from the airport, so she seemed to know exactly when I landed.
When I was a kid we always had cats, and dogs, and horses....you get the idea. My dad was a big animal lover. When we first moved to TN from FL he brought my horse in to the utility room one winter because he was afraid it was cold.
