Food and company

I wish my human would understand - I like to have company while I eat.

If he puts out my food and walks away, I'll lick some of it, but then I'll start to worry and wonder where he's gone.
I get anxious, can't finish what's in the bowl, and have to go looking for him.

I need him to stay with me while I eat.

If he puts my food out, then stands next to me, I'll eat all of it, purr loudly, and swish my tail, checking to see if he's there, every so often.

If he starts to walk away, I'll meow, run up to him, and lead him back to my bowl.

It's very important for my peace of catty mind that he's present when I eat food.
