    Luigi is the only pet I've ever had (cat) that wants attention on HIS time.

    Mario (cat) and Cassie (pup) will follow me around. Cassie even follows me into the bathroom. Makes bath time for her very easy, since she loves the water.

    Both Myndi and Sparky are velcro pups - especially Sparky. I can't even walk out the door and walk to the road to get the mail, without both of them sitting and watching me from the front window. And when I have to go out for a couple of hours and someone else is at home, they still watch out the window for me to come back, the whole time.

    I believe all three of mine are velcro pets, especially after I first come home from college. I'm usually only gone a week or so at a time since I live so close to home, but I swear you'd think I'd been gone for years .

    Bichons are also called velcro pups. They must be with their human at all times. When I get up and go to the bathroom, all 5 follow; always!

    So do my cats. "A little privacy please!" And Spunky even has to sit on my shoulder while I'm working at the computer. (School work)

    Pearl is my velcro kitty but she is a meezer so this is to be expected. She also has to be with me when I'm in the bathroom. My other cats love it when I'm home and most of them do prefer to be in the same room that I'm in but they aren't as clingy as my Pearly girl.

    I voted yes. Jake has to be near me or at least have me in his sights at all times. I have had two or three of my furkids 'visit' me in the bathroom at times.
    I tell them, "listen, there is no window in here so I can't escape!"
