"Je manque à elle" vs. "Elle me manque"

I was deeply confused by this, but I think I now understand.

I can say "Mon chat me manque.", or "Mon chat manque à Jean.". HOWEVER,

"Mon chat manque à moi" and "Mon chat manque à elle" are NOT correct.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Kwiziq ScoringI was trying to improve my previous A1 & A2 grades and remove the light yellow areas in my brain map and it seems impossible to get above 84.6%. I'd be right at 84.6% and then get a succession of 10/10 results and my score would drop to 84.5%. I could then work back to 84.6% slowly - but I couldn't ever seem to get above that result and the yellow areas in my brain map stayed depressingly un-green.

Anthony brings his sunglasses (in case it's sunny.) (on a C1 test)My answer - Anthony apporte des lunettes de soleil au cas où il ferait du soleil. Marked nearly correct. Your correct answer - .......... au cas où il ferait BEAU. Doesn't that mean - in case the weather is nice, beautiful? Can you also say -- au cas où il y aurait du soleil. Please explain.
