My whole life, my cats have usually gone to wait by the door when they hear the car coming. I think they're less likely to do it if there's a dog there. Even if they're best friends with the dog, the dog's likely to get rambunctious when the humans come home.

I don't understand how Anita et al aren't literally suffocated by now with all those stupid puppy piles. Not to mention all the spine issues that would come from that.
