Lets seem, my ferals who are outside run and hide the second they see the car pull up in the driveway. My semi-feral waits until we get out of the car and walk towards him, and then he takes off running. The kittens, they ALL come running and try and trip us, and scream as if we have food for them. The ones who go outside, and who are usually on the front porch all come running and also try and trip us..and jump in the back of the van when we carry in groceries.

Usually they all come running, and try and trip us. And beg for food (Even if we come home and didn't even go grocery shopping)

It's the greatest thing coming home to a cat.

Nigel is always there at the catflap looking out and meowing to me.

When I get inside and sit down he jumps all over me.

Demetri is always waiting in the front window for me and I can see him meowing as I walk up the drive.

When I come inside all of them greet me and start telling me all about their day, when I sit down they all clamber up trying to be the first one in my lap

The spare bedroom is at the front of my house, and i'm certain cats can tell the time because Sophie is usually sitting on the sill waiting for me. As soon as i walk down my drive i watch her jump down to run downstairs, and when i open the livingroom door she's right there behind it, followed by Rosie and Jack coming down the stairs
They headbutt my legs and i give them scritches, then they follow me into the kitchen because they know it's time for their wet food

When I come home, my feral cat, Blondie always comes to greet me.
She knows my car and if she gets there and DBF is driving, she runs away. Likewise, if I'm driving DBF's car, she wont come to greet me. DBF is tall and even after 4 years of knowing him, she's still pretty certain that he's gonna pick her up and eat her.
She always meets me (kind of like my dogs used to do) and then I have to pet her for approx 10 mins or until she walks away (indicating that she's had enough).

Then it's time to go inside where Sunny runs from whatever room he's in at the time to try to trip me up as I'm coming in the door. Sunny, who is a very cuddly kitten, requires that I hold him and carry him from room to room with me
. When I try to go to the restroom, he just has to be there (absolutely no privacy in my house). Then it's time to change my clothes and he will actually let me put him down momentarily to find and put on my clothes - then it's right back into the arms. He's my little orange shadow and ever since we've taken him in, it takes me 6 times longer to get anything done around the house, but I wouldn't have it any other way

If she sees my car coming towards the house, she will jump down from her favorite window and be waiting when I open the front door. Then she purrs and flops down so I can pet her on the base of her tail and under the chin.

If she hears the car but she can't see it she does the same thing. She will not do this when it's a neighbor's car or my carpool buddy.

Smart kitty has learned which cars belong to meowmy and pawpaw!

My two house cats will stare out the window at me, then right when I open the door they'll meow, roll around, and then run to the kitchen to get fed!

My outdoor cat will come around the house and greet me, then run around to the back to get fed.

My kitty waits at the top of the stairs for me to walk up (my front door is at the bottom of a flight of stairs) and when i get to the top she rolls over and over and over, purring,but she doesn't like to be rubbed on her belly so i have to wait for her to get over her excitement then we get a cuddle

Mine come to the door, but ever since I got Da Bird, Riley immediately runs to the closet wanting me to get it out for him. He spends most of his evening there as well. Silly boy.

Nova waits by the door and meows at me. She leads me to the litter box or to the food bowl if she needs something, but mostly it's time for petting.

Shareena is usually lying in the dining room window when I drive up. She follows along until I get past the window and by the time I get to the door she's there waiting. Shareena and Miss Patchwillow will both have their noses pressed against the crack of the door just waiting for their chance to make a dash for freedom, which is not allowed. If I have anything in my hands it's nearly impossible to keep them from getting outside. The first thing they do is roll around in the dirt. When I finally catch them Miss Patchwillow drapes herself over my shoulder and Shareena curls up in my arms to be carried like a baby.

Goldy hangs back a little until I'm in the house with the door closed, then wraps herself around my ankles. That lasts all of about 10 seconds until she bounces into the kitchen expecting to be fed. If it's not mealtime she keeps winding around my ankles until I pick her up. She never tries to go outside like the other kitties. (Been there, done that, have the kittens to prove it
)

If they're awake the babies come running to jump on my feet. They can't jump much higher than that yet.

100% of the time, heyu will be sitting in the window, followed, with normaly cats 2-3, will come running and get in the window, as i pull up.

followed by running to the door, and sitting there.
followed with heyu spending about 5 mins yelling at the top of her lungs at for me being gone(this starts before i even get in the door). i have to rub her head to get her to shut up. followed by easy and blackie who both want some pets.

lol my grandmother once said, i guess she told you. haha,

broni could care less, if am home or not .

Larry (formerly feral) has his usual sleeping spot during the day, and I've left him for a neighbor to feed a couple of times since I got him, so he's sort of suspicious of the door opening. He won't come out unless he hears my voice, so I come in and start calling his name and speaking softly. He'll come out right away when he hears my voice, and then he'll flop down and roll over and look at me, as if he's saying, "Pet me now. It's been a long day. I deserve it."

shinobi will be on the safety of the stairs but will follow me everywhere until he gets fed!

milo will be on the sofa or on my bed and won't get up until i go to him.


tabitha is usually on the dining room table and meows at me to come to her too!

My little Eric runs up to my and nibbles on my hands as I'm untying my shoes as if to say "Love me and feed me or else...". Marie will sit in front of me and will not move until I pet her. And Meezers will start doing figure 8's around my legs trying to trip me. Once he succeeded and I quickly had 3 cats lying on me, purring their hearts out
