Bouja and Bushes know exactly when I'm due home from work. They're right by the door waiting for me. When I get home early, they are always startled and have to stroll out from the bedroom to get the whole story. I sit on the couch and they come up for pets and explanations. Dinner is at 7pm, stringtime (their favorite play toy) is at 9pm and bedtime is around 11pm. If I deviate from the schedule, they get extremely grumpy. They push things off counters, tables, windowsills, anywhere high. They also will take out their frustrations on the Christmas cactus. The poor plant has little teeth marks all over it!
