How do your cats greet you ?

Aww I love reading all these stories. Gah to the people who say cats are lazy and do nothing.

Zoey is ALWAYS at the door when I come in. She does the 'brrrrr meit!!' and rubs all over my legs.

Saki will saunter in a minute or two later and plop down on the kitchen floor and start rolling around.

Astrid is usually peering at me from around the corner of the stove as I come in the back door. I can tell she has been sleeping before I arrive because she has that rumpled, eyes half shut look and usually gives a big stretch before "meep"ing and meowing at me. She rubs up against me, sniffs any bags I might have brought in, and follows me "sqeaking" around the apartment as I get changed, get the mail etc. Her new fave thing is to rub her face against my handbag - I HAVE to put it on the dining room table for her or I get quite a scolding!

Wonton is always right at the door waiting for me, but the greeting depends on how long I've been gone. If it's 1-2 hours sometimes he'll hop up and walk over and rub against me, but sometimes he'll just open his eyes blearily, peer at me, and close them again, like he's too sleepy to be bothered to come greet me Three to six hours has him hopping off the bed and trotting over, rubbing against my legs intensely, and then I reach down and pick him up and pet him for a bit, and he rubs against my face. If it's been 7+ hours since I've seen him, he'll come running and practically trip me, somtimes with a little "Purrrr-EOW!" greeting. when he gets in front of me, I set my bag on the floor and bed over with my arms out (likek you would to pick up a todler), and he stands up on his hind legs and reaches up to me with his front legs, begging to be picked up. I pick him up and he cuddles in, and always twists himself so his head is against/over my left shoulder, and he's purring like a freight train and so happy to see me

Quill will be at the door as I open it. He'll sit there and look at me quietly with his tail wagging, then go off and do his own thing. When he feels like it he'll come to me and kneebutt a few times, roll on his belly, and play with my feet. And for the rest of the day/night he'll be right beside me on the floor or on his special cushion watching TV with us, eventually falling asleep, unless he wants to play.

Yes that is true, and that feeling lasts until he starts climbing up the 'kitty tunnels' (the legs of my jeans) which is painful and drives me mad. Why the obsession with my jeans Radar, why?

Got one............this is how Moofs say "hi"

That's so cute!

Jacob always greets everyone at the door - he hears the cars pulling into the driveway and he's right there, saying hello and seeing if he can do a door-dash! Löki rolls over at the top of the stairs on his side and stretches out as far as he can for a belly rub!

My girls think that they are beins sneaky.. I KNOW that they sleep no the dining room table, but they don't know that I know, or maybe they don't care!
Before I get my key in the door, I hear, thump, thump. When I come in to my 4 season porch I see the two of them sitting in the house looking out at me through the sliding glass doors - sometimes Mollie does her "begging" routine which is sitting up and putting her two front paws together and waving them at me...Sophie has more dignity...and when Oliver was alive, I always found him sitting patiently behind my girls. Of course, their priority is to get their ration of wet food. Then it is time for rubs, hugs and kisses!

If their bellies are full they just look at me from wherever they happen to be when I get back. If they're hungry, they're both by my feet and I'm tripping over them. LOL

This is almost exactly what I was going to say, if Misty is not hungry she kinda looks up at me and yawns without leaving her fav place on the chair. If she is hungry, she is already by the door when I walk in and circles my legs, it's a wonder I haven't tripped yet.

you guys are so lucky when i get home amy is waiting on the bottom of the stairs giving me the "where the hell have you been look" then sits in the middle of the hall way so you have to step over her untill she has forgiven me for going out or she decides she is hungry

Pixel will run over and go YOW YOW YOWWWWWWW, meanwhile Boo literally throws himself sideways into my legs and then arches his back.

Yup, thats exactly what Trout does Its so cute eh?

Limerick usually comes running, but if he is in the same room he just walks over to me. Either way he talks up a storm.... soo cute!

Frankie just looks at me and either yawns or just stares

Dusty runs to her scratching board and does a few scratches. Then as soon as I sit down, or lie down on the sofa, she is on me snuggled as close to my face as she can get and give me sweet kitty kisses - rubs her forehead against my mouth. She is soooo affectionate!

Gosh - I can't get over how much Moofi looks like my Melchett - especially the long stretchy leg thing she is doing in the pic!!!

I love coming home to my boys - they are normally lined up in the front window and hgear my car pull up. When I unlock the back door they cal come skidding round the kitchen door to greet me. Paddy is the most talkative of the lot and screams at me whenever he seems me!!

Kinah doesn't really greet me... she's afraid of strangers so she hides when I come home, just in case someone else is with me.

With Joshua, it depends. He usually rubs his face on the floor and meows.

He doesn't! I have to go grab him off wherever it is he's passed out asleep and hug him and give him kisses. He likes to sleep until I come wake him up. Haha!

Jasmine- she's like a little doggie when we come home- she's always greeting us wagging her tail and kissing us!!!

Velvet- she'll stick one paw out and gently touch my arm while letting out a long MEEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWW. She's my baby...lol it's like our little routine.

Isabella- she'll hiss and run away from me

Abilene- she'll slowly look up and me and "meep"
