Oh yes. I know that look well. I have one cat that was so clingy that I got her a cat (dragging her across the carpet while she clung to my pant leg was the last straw.)
I'm in and out of town these days, so I had to come up with something. I play with my cats when I get home. We run around, I pet them, I dangle their jingly toy while they flip themselves all over the place...and then...they fall asleep in the middle of the floor. I go to bed. Sometimes they try for a bit of a reprise at odd hours of the morning and end up playing Thunder Chase/Freight Train/Feline Bowling, but for the most part this works well.
My limit for leaving the cats alone is 4 days. At 4 days, I usually come home to find that they've climbed up the refridgerator and knocked down anything that's on top of it. I am not sure what they would do after 5 days, much less 6. I do not wish to find out, however, so 4 days it is.
