I don't know what it is, but none of my three cats is ever outside of a
ten foot radius from me.  Do they really think they need to supervise my
every move that closely?  What do they think I do when I leave the
apartment and they aren't there to supervise?  Do they think I am unable
to function?  Does anyone else have cats that think they need such close
supervision?

My cats would be my slippers if they could :)

ohhhh yes.  Sugar likes to sleep in the half cat tree about 4 feet
behind me. Well, recently Pearl "discovered" that tree and if it is
empty, she gets in it. Then Sugar walks around and around and around,
gets up by me, gets down. She can't go over and sleep in the OTHER half
tree. Or if vice versa, Pearl sits by the couch and pokes at me and
won't let me work. Finally, I have taken to moving the OTHER half tree
to by the couch at night, that way neither one is more than 4 feet away
and they both are happy. It's silly.

For your cats, it just may be a competitive thing, and they are
keeping their eyes on each other to make sure that neither of the
other two get too close to you when they're not looking. ;)

Stinky generally does like to stick close when I am home, but he will
let me go for awhile.  If there is a box in the house, sitting in the
box generally takes precedence over me. ;)    Same for a really good
spot on the daybed.  The funny thing though, is when he wakes up and
finds I am not around, he will come after me, yelling.  "Yow!  Yow!
Yow!"  and he won't stop the the yelling, either, even if he's made
eye contact with me.  He'll come into the room, and march right up to
me, yowing.  My favorite thing is when he climbs the stairs yelling,
sort of like this: Step "Yow!" Step "Yow!" Step "Yow!"

I think cats hang around in the hope that food will appear at some stage,
and just to make sure you don't *ever* forget that they are the centre of
your life!!!

My Chloe-girl is usually in the same room with me unless she's getting into
trouble with her brother, Tryone (better known as Dr. Evil).  Tyrone walks
around and chirps.  When you hear him chirp that means he's bored and
looking to destroy something - sometimes it's his mild-mannered sister.

Mine tend to trade duties with each other. For example, if Mandy is
supervising me at the computer, Betsy is probably asleep upstairs on my
bed. But I've noticed ever since they came here that they follow me about.
Not obviously, like a dog frisking around my ankles and bouncing alongside
(well, not unless I'm headed for the kitchen), but very definitely.
There's almost invariably at least one cat settled near me whereever I am.
If I get up and move to another room, almost immediately that cat will, oh
so casually, just happen to wander into the same room, and settle down
again.

I'm sure they think I am wasting my time when I leave. Mandy will often
sit in the front window and meow at me at I leave - I don't know if she
wants to come to, or if she wants me to come back. On the bright side,
when I do come back, I sometimes have bags with interesting smells with
me, so they forgive me.

I think they just want to be close to you!  Melisande spends
a lot of time in the bedroom, sleeping on the bed or in her
cat-bed on the chest of drawers, but if I'm home she can
usually be found sleeping somewhere near me.  She will come
sit on my lap when she wants affection, but most of the time
it seems as though she simply wants to sense me nearby.
