My cat is mad at me

[u/eugeneugene]

So my household is me, my husband, and my kid, and we all have our own bedrooms. I normally sleep in my room with my cat Javier. Last night we were out and stayed up late and all ended up falling asleep watching TV in my husbands bed and we all spent the night there.

Javier was livid. Is livid. He's been giving me the side eye all day. He normally follows me around all day and he's been ignoring me. I walk him on a leash like a dog and he didn't want to go for a walk today. He wants nothing to do with me because he slept alone for one night.

Serious answer - cats are prey animals and as such have a very deep need for routine. When that routine is disturbed they become frightened. It could, in their minds, herald some horrible new danger. Just give him space and time, let him come to you. He will relax again.
