it sounds like she was describing romeo!!!

  i have no problem with him following me around at all - except for when he was really young and got stepped on! it used to be that i could not sit down anywhere without him wanting to be in my lap but he outgrew that.  when i go to the bathroom he sits outside the door. if i pick up my keys he comes running thinking he is going for a ride! if he is sleep and i leave my office for too long he will come looking for me!

   annoying - no way!  i love him too much to call him anything like that. 
sounds like she needs a cat!! then see how she likes that attitude!
