Answer 2

Your cat is obviously suffering from separation anxiety... Yes cats get that too! So just spend a little extra time with him in the morning before work and when you get home. Maybe give him soft food just before you leave as a distraction, he will get use to this, and it may help to make it a more positive thing instead of so traumitizing

Answer 3

Your cat probably need more attention when you are home: I have two cats and they only block the door and meow when I havent been home for hours come in and leave right back out: they hate that!

also if you cat live somewhere else for example a pet shop cat (before you took it home) it can really fear abadoment

I say try to give you cat attention, make sure it has Fresh water (i capitalized fresh because cat will not drink water that has been sitting around for hours let alone days) and has Fresh food

see if your cat attitude change once you give it some true one on one attention and making sure it has the essencials : fresh food, fresh water, clean litter, play toy and last but not least LOVE

Answer 4

According to one of my friends at the library, hers doesn't ever do that, but it sounds like he could have been.
