If it were really true to life, the cat would take one look at the open door and wander off.

Yeah, I expected the cat to come in, look around, and go out again.

you see, my cat would have done a lot more than that to get my attention. very funny!

Add me to the list of people who thought the cat would decide he didn't really want to come in after all...... at least until his human slave shut the door and walked away.

Cute! At my house we use "cat" as an adjective (thanks to our African Grey who once snarled, "Don't be so cat"), and I have to agree that the ending wasn't quite as "cat" as expected. We don't let our cat outside, but he'll yowl and paw at any closed interior door then decline to go through when we open it for him, just like every cat I've ever been owned by.

Cute. Thanks for sharing.
I can just envision real kitties pawing at the door, only to "take their time" once the door is opened.
