The attachment bond is important

Vitale analyzes the cats’ ability to bond and the results were amazing. She gathered together in her laboratory various owners with their cats and “then we take the owner out, leaving the cat alone in the room. We bring the owner back in two minutes later and there’s a reunion.” After seeing their owner again, some cats were really happy and welcomed their spiritual parents and after this ‘ritual’ they explored the room. It means that these cats are really attached to their owner. 

But, other felines cling to their ‘parents’ and it means that these cats “are still upset that the owner left.” She adds, “We also have cats that don’t really respond when their owner returns; they sit at a distance and ignore the owner,” and this is actually a weak or incomplete bond between them.

Nevertheless, when we want to explain and dissect the behavior of our pet we have to take into consideration the fact that early socialization is the key to making your cat friendly. To be more specific, if you let your cat interact with other animals or people and you also spend a lot of time with it from an early age, it will be more attached to you.
