Does anyone else ever miss their cat like an irrational amount even when you're only gone for a day/night?

Lol, as the title alludes to, I miss my cat a tremendous amount even when I'm only away from the house for a singular night. I've had family pets in the past, but she's my first pet that is solely my responsibility. She sleeps snuggled up against me in the crook of my arm nearly every night like the sweetie pie she is. She's such a people-cat that I feel extra guilty when I'm not home. I have cameras set up for when I'm not home and she just looks so sad walking around the house with her tail down. She doesn't even really play when people aren't around.

I feel like a crazy person for how much I miss her... it's almost more than I have ever missed a friend or a loved one lol.
