..at the door? Mine does, I have never had a cat who does this before. He is a lone cat so I know that has something to do with it. But it's very cute.

All 5 of mine do! Some days I can barely get in the door because I have 5 cats circling my ankles trying to get my attention.


And Thomas has this bad habit of trying to climb the back of my leg. He doesn't seem to realize that my leg is NOT a tree trunk and it DOES hurt when he buries his claws into the back my thigh!

Tyger (RIP) used to great me voraciously, but he was a lone cat, so I think he got lonely.

Of the two I have now, the male (Godzilla) will greet me, but not too intensly. I always find him sitting on the arm of the sofa by the door very calmly. The female (mea) doesn't say hi until I open a can of food...

All of mine do as well:-). Tails up in the air, they come running from wherever they were sleeping hoping to see what I have for them. Lion and Bear are the first and the rest follow:-).

Loving my beautiful baby girl
Sierra greets me at the door the moment I arrive home! I pick her up and we cuddle for a while. She rests her little head on my shoulder and purrs in my ear while I rub her. Then, she tells me all about her day! Nomatter what has gone on the rest of the day, any stress just fades away. Sierra brightens my entire world!

Baylee used to but that was before we got Max. She would run up to me, rub my legs, headbutt me and then follow me around.

Now when I get home she and Max just stare at me.

Simon always comes to me. He sometimes decides I'm taking too long to come in the house, and will stand on the inside of the door and yodel at me. LOLOL! Once I'm in, I scoop him up and get my kisses...these days, they're very vital.

Esse stays on the table until I come and hug her, and Pie and Charlotte might come if it's not too inconvenient. Pengy doesn't run and hide when I come home, which is as good as greeting me.

Like someone said above, the stress and tension of the day are hard to hold onto when you're lovin' on a kitty...and they're lovin' on you right back.

Best-
Michele

Yes, Seamus greets me. He's always so cuddly when I get home. Purring and rubbing his head under my chin, making little baby mews. It's so precious for a couple of minutes. Then he bites my hand and runs off, wanting me to chase him.

Our last cat would wait at the door for my mom. She always knew when mom left work because she'd sit on the trashcan that's next to the back door for 15 minutes, and as soon as she heard the car (even when it was about 8 houses away) she'd start caterwalling. She'd do the same thing when mom left to run errands. (My mom learned that the only way to keep Eby from being mad for 3 days after a bath was to leave the house right afterwards for a few hours. Eby was so happy that mom came home that she'd forget completely about the bath.) Of course, Eby hated everyone but my mom, so I never got this treatment. She'd walk by me when I got him if she had been alone all day, and even then I felt extremely honored.

The 3 Mousekateers come running to the stove when my mom gets home, because that's where we keep their food bowls between feedings. When I get home they come running to greet me, though. L.S. is there when I open the door, folowed by Hans running up the stairs from the cellar, and then Merlin, stumbling into the room because he's been sleeping. I plunk down on the floor and do huggles all around. I love it.
(I'd rather come home early to my cats that go party all night. Some college student I am.
