How does your cat try to stop you from leaving?

[columbine]

My cat Smudge is quite large and quite fluffy, and while he's not a lap cat (wouldn't fit anyway!) he likes being near me, and would rather I not spend so much time out. I was, it seemed, safely in for the night, but then started exhibiting Leaving Behavior (putting on socks and shoes). So as I put on one shoe, rather than playing the shoelaces as he normally does, he ever so casually, ever so sedately, positioned himself over my other shoe and sat on it, covering it completely. It was very well done - if I hadn't seen him do it, I wouldn't have known there was a size 11 shoe underneath him.

my cat Taz makes me trip on the stairs , either going up or down, wanting attention, every step i take, he gets ahead and stops across me on the next step, and me trying not to step on it, almost trip (stairs are thin) so i have to get him and take it with me.

Cole often starts his little meowing, which I call crying - when he does this, I am always in the front hall getting ready to leave for work.

He will sometimes persuade me to go throw a toymouse for him.

Silly little boy! I just love my Cole!

When I leave the house, the entire Clan(8 cats)is in the kitchen all lined up with the most pathetic expressions!!!! I am happy to say, when I return, they are all there, looking happy that I have returned home!!

Loki will try to follow me out! the only time he tries to run outside is if i am going! he dosent care about anyone else just me. If i do leave he stares at me pathetically from my bay window, and stays there till i return!this was taken while i was outside, and Loki was in the window!
