My west coast brother and his wife went away for a long weekend. My brother told me about their cat's greeting when they got home yesterday. The cat, Ace by name, calmly sat on his blanket sucking his toe and glanced at them. This is such typical cat behavior. If you go away for as little as an hour, you dog will greet you with lavish barks, jumps, licks, butt wiggles and running around in circles. There is no doubt she is delighted that you're home. A cat, on the other hand, gives you the cold shoulder. Mind you, we always left our cats very well cared for when we went on vacations. They had all their needs attended to. So, did they rush to greet us when we came home, full of gratitude for their good care and joy to see us home? Hahahahaha. The typical reception was a casual saunter toward the door to see who was coming in, a look that plainly said "Oh, it's you." a yawn, and a slow walk back to their bed or current puddle of sunshine. A few hours later they would be all ready for some cuddling and purring, but only on their schedule.
