Cats will come over to you if you squat down, it happens almost instantly. In cat world I guess the human being low means you're nice.

Cats are heavily into patterns. My family always had cats and you could see how they craved for everything to be in order. You come home at 5pm, you eat at 6, you watch TV at 7pm, you turn off the TV at 10:35pm, you brush your teeth at 10:40pm and on and on. Cats know and expect your routine to be the same and they seem to love that.

My elderly parents' cat puts my father to bed. Then she goes off to her favourite sleeping spot. My dad's brother comes to visit at 2pm and the cat gets ready for the visit by coming to sit by the chair before my uncle arrives.

Confirmed, both from reading (I suggest The Lion in the Living Room) and from experience. My cats know my schedule better than I do.
