Feeling insecure

Not me, Beano is insecure despite being with me for ten years now.

This bungalow is only a little bigger than the flat and the flat was slightly smaller then the narrow boat we had when we first got Beano.

Despite this Beano has always followed me from room to room. When I do the washing up or I'm cooking, he sits on his mat in the kitchen. If I go to the toilet he sits on my feet, when I'm in the shower he sits on the bath mat. He seems to think I'll disappear if he doesn't keep his eye on me.

Today I was using the sewing machine which is on a desk between the sofa and the arm chair. The desk is about four inches away from the sofa and only two inches from the chair. Beano got off the sofa and eyed up the stool I was sitting on he eventually decided there wasn't room for him on the stool so he climbed on to the arm chair so he was slightly nearer to me.

When we go to bed at night Beano wriggles around until his back legs are pressed against my side. That way he will know if I leave the bed and he can come and find me. When I go to the bathroom during the night he wakes but doesn't usually follow me, he will wait until I return to bed and the wriggle around until his legs are once again pressed against me.
