Ali only sometimes come down to see us. I haven't really noticed a pattern in when she shows up and when she doesn't. She just comes when she feels like it I guess. She usually comes down, walks in front of us and jumps up on the arm of the couch looking at us as if to say "Pet me!"

Jack on the other hand is pretty consistant with his greetings. In fact he's usually meowing at us through the front window before we even get in the door. Once we're inside, we greet him w/ a hello and he meows back at us and puts his front paws on our leg and stretches.
