Our Siamese cat Baby (then about 2 years old) was distraught upon our return from the first vacation we had ever taken in his life. Like, DISTRAUGHT. My dad had to take my sister back to college (winter break was over) the same day we got home from Florida. (We live in MN and drove - ugh.) My mom was tired from…

One of my dad’s cat’s would stand in the bathroom door and yell at me every morning. Couldn’t figure it out. Finally I realized that he didn’t want me to leave. This was a cat that was a stray as a kitten so he didn’t like being held and would always keep everyone at arms length and hang around the periphery. All…

My cat “loved” me, I think, but she was also totally cool when she was left here for two weeks with a friend of mine when I went on a trip to Thailand. She became extremely attached to my friend and was fine. So I do think my cat would have been A-OK if I had died over there and she had to spend the rest of her days…

Mine is an indoor cat and as he gets older he’s friendlier with the cat sitters - like SUPER nice and sociable and basically nothing like he normally is when strangers visit.

I was gone for 5 nights (had a friend feeding my cat) and when I came home he had the saddest meow…

BRB, calling the cops.

This one works!

jax is a sociopath but spot on when judging his friends lol

I used to work at AARP’s HQ in their Research dept. so yeah, what the other posters said, studying the elderly and their ways and needs. I worked with several people with degrees in Gerontology. ETA I guess that would make me not part of the general public, but I did know what it meant before I worked there.

Well, I associate the prefix “ger” with geriatrics, and “ology” with “the study of”, so I would think it’s the science of studying elderly people.

AFAIK it’s a medical or research field that deals with old age.

It’s medicine specializing in treatment of the elderly, I believe. And now that I’ve answered, I’m off to Google to find out!

Eh, Rinna’s problem is she’s playing with shit that 1) isn’t her business and 2) is very serious to the people involved.
