Edwina does this too. I referred to it as "Velcro catting" in a previous thread. When I am out of town sometimes she won't even go to bed with my husband but stay downstairs waiting. She also knows my overnight bag and when it comes out she climbs all over it rubbing on it and sitting in it and looking so sad. I've taken to packing in the closet so she won't know until the last moment (a bit silly, I know.)

When my husband and I go out of town together she poops in the dining room upon our return! (and does the velcro catting.)
