Mine greet us at the door shamelessly which is 100% different that I was misinformed about by just about everyone. That is one thing I learned that cats are not companion animals in the sense dogs are. They are your equals in many ways.I think one of the problems is that people think that cats are independent: don't need anyone and love being out in the 'wild' where the fend for themselves. I suppose I had that thought until I got my first ever cat / kitten. I was always a dog person however can seriously say my dog when I was younger never followed me everywhere, slept at my feet and woke when the alarm went ; nor ran to the window to see me off to work every morning and the same every evening ! Gracie went and ran to the door yesterday to great my partner ... He opened the door a good couple of minutes later - I didnt even hear him walk down the path !
