Here is Molly’s welcome-home procedure, which is performed exactly as described below each evening when I return from work:

1. Look startled; jump off the blue chair.
2. Trot quickly over toward the front door.
3. Attempt, unsuccessfully, to look out the door into my building’s hallway.
4. Forget about the hallway as soon as the door is closed.
5. Scratch the scratching post (a.k.a. the small end-table) for 5 seconds.
6. Watch me take off my jacket and shoes.
7. Run away and jump onto the cat tree.
8. Continue about business.
