Aww! I think that is so sweet! I do the same thing. There's nothing more wonderful than coming home to find those cute little furry faces waiting there to greet you!

I completely agree. Vivien is usually sitting with her nose right next to the door when I come home... either that or she comes running to greet me, meowing a little bit as she runs. So, adorable.
Yeah, I talk to my cat a lot. I hope she doesn't mind... sometimes I actually worry that I might be annoying her.
