Cats can have separation anxiety, and this adorable Instagram video of a ginger cat named Penny proves that. Penny is winning hearts after her dad shared a sweet “bathroom chat” on @pennythegingercat that perfectly shows how much she missed him while he was away. He captioned the video, “bathroom father-daughter chats,” and viewers could resonate with the sentiments.
Cat looks for owner and meows in an adorable video
The video shows how the paw parent reassured his cat to help with her separation anxiety. It opens with Penny paddling into view from around the corner as her dad calls out, “Pen,” while the on-screen texts translate her meows into a full conversation. Penny “answers,“daddy! where were you? i thought you left again.”
Her owner quickly reassures her with “im here! i didn’t leave you,” explaining that he was only using the bathroom, to which the cat seemingly replies, “i thought you abandoned me.” When he tells her, “no i’m here. i’m just using the toilet,” she stretches on the bath mat while soaking up head rubs.
Penny then asks, “why didn’t you tell ME!” and “did you leave a note?” Her dad admits, “no…well i apologize. i’m here. i’m finishing up,” and promises, “i love you too. i won’t abandon you again. i’m not going to a different country for a while. don’t worry OK?” Penny finally answers, “i am now,” followed by a cheeky, “it smells in here,” to which her dad answers, “ok im finishing up.”
Across the screen, the owner explains, “POV: you just returned from a long trip and now your cat has separation anxiety.”
Viewers could relate to Penny’s reaction. One follower wrote, “She’s so gorgeous Pen is missing dad! You didn’t ask permission,” while another joked, “I thought I’m the only one who converses with cats and understands them as well.” Several people called Penny a “daddy’s girl” and shared that their own cats trail them to the bathroom after they come home from trips.
The video reflects the bond between a cat and her owner, and viewers loved every second of it.
