Visiting Cats...

I had a day off work earlier this week, waiting at home for a
plumber to come and fix a drain problem.

A neighbour's cat from across the road must have known I was at
home. He has a morning routine, patrolling his territory - but on
that day, he deviated from his normal route. He crossed the road
to come into my front garden, spotted from my bedroom window -
so, I went downstairs to open my front door and talk to him.
Guess what? He'd walked right up to the door, and was standing
there with his tail raised in the classic 'J' shape. "Meow?", he
said! He didn't come in, but waited for some skritches before
going back to his normal patrol route...

He was making sure you were OK.

He knows you are normally gone at that time.

Smart kitty!

Every day was a treasure with Kenzie; I tried to treat them that way.
There would only be so many, and now, there will never, ever, be any

Either "checking" or "scouting" best be watchful.
