People usually say that dogs are emotional, but cats can sometimes be the same way.

A man named Brandon posted a video on TikTok and shared how attached his cat is to him.

Brandon walked toward his front door…

And his cat was standing there.

Brandon reached for the door handle and the cat jumped on to his arm to try to stop him from leaving.

The video’s text overlay reads, “He won’t let me go to work.”

Brandon wrote in the caption, “Every morning, same routine.”

That kitty just wants some company!
