Yup, I can relate. My older tuxedo likes to follow me out to the berry patch, sit on the raised bed while I pick. She acts like shes supervising. When I'm out and about in the yard, she follows me and checks out what I'm doing. If I go across the street to chat with my neighbos, she'll sit at the edge of the curb and wait for me as she knows she's not supposed to cross the street unless I tell her she can. She also likes to lay on the porch swing with me and just vegitate with me. Most times she comes when I call her but at times she likes to be a brat and turn her back to me. Her and I moved into this old house together. It's been a good 11 years now and I hope I have many more with her in the future. We do have another cat that showed up one day at the age of 5 weeks old. Just out of the blue she came to the back door. Must have followed Pepper home as she was coming down the alley one day. She came inside and has never left us.
