Many cat owners might worry that their cats become lonely at work or if they only have one cat. While cats can display similarities to the human feeling of loneliness, cats cannot feel loneliness like humans do. But, cats can develop separation anxiety when they're alone for periods or away from their primary caretaker for too long.

In this video, Dr. Luqman Javed, Catster vet talks cats, loneliness, and separation anxiety.
