If I come in through the basement, she jumps on my shoulder, kneads my arm, and then scentmarks me. If I come in from upstairs, I'm supposed to go into the powder room so she can jump up on the sink and scentmark me. If I'm trying to lug in groceries and don't immediately stop to do the greeting, she gets very upset. Even if I've brought her a food treat, like a slice of deli turkey, she still wants to do the greeting before she eats. The kitten, on the other hand, goes for the food.
Kitties are funny guys.
