Aren’t they great? I mean, when your puppy greets you at the door, tail wagging and yipping with excitement, it just does the heart good. “I’m so glad you’re home mama. I don’t care where you were or what you were doing. I love you mama.” But the cat isn’t quite as obvious about it. He waits until the dog is distracted by something else, then comes to sit at your feet. Then there’s that one little paw on the knee, as if to say, “You’re home now. You may pet me. Just don’t let the dog see you petting me.”
