I was late getting home tonight. Not too late, about 45 minutes. But the cats knew. Haiku and Taki were waiting at the garage door when I entered the house from the garage. I suspect they hear the garage door, so know to be waiting. I brought some items into the house with me, including refrigeratables, so took care of that first. Then I went through the bedroom, to the computer room. Haiku and Taki were waiting at their feeding station in the bedroom, but both dashed into the computer room behind me. Then, returned to the bedroom. So, I fed them quickly, then took care of the other cat chores, including feeding Sake.
Sake is not as anxious to be fed. She frequently checks out the food, then retires from the kitchen, only to return 10 or 20 minutes later to eat.
I have a walk in shower in one of the bathrooms of my house. I keep a bowl of water on the floor of the shower, for the cats. Three times tonight, when I went into that bathroom, Taki was sitting in the shower. I have no idea what that is about. I know she likes to bat the water bowl, moving it around. Is she trying to get cool on the tiles? Does she like being in a "cave?" (This brings to mind a question, how do cats cool themselves. I know that dogs pant, and exchange heat from their ears and the pads of their feet. Hmmm http://www.dwmtech.com/CATS/coolcats.htm or http://www.thecatsite.com/a/keeping-cats-cool.)
