Mine also run free, and they usually greet me at the door also. They are real good about not trying to go out the door, which is a good thing since it leads right outside. It is sometimes hard to tell it they are greeting me, or if they hope that I have a new bag for them to play in. Since Pepper died, I've noticed that Kitty is becoming more social than he was before. Before I got Pepper, Kitty would very occasionally play with me, and he would rarely chuckle. In the last few weeks, he has been real insistant that I play with him, and he's real noisy about it too. He has even climbed into my lap for short petting sessions, something that he NEVER did before. I haven't noticed any change in Ferrah, but she has always been fairly social anyways.
