True most of the time.

There are exceptions though. Our Kitty is a rescue job from a St. Paul shelter. She had been abused (still fears boots and bags) and was terrified of us as well as skinny as a rail. Took us a couple weeks before she'd even come near us. But things improved rapidly.

About six months after we got here I was helping my son on remodeling his house, and got home around midnight. Walking in the door I saw Kitty's head poking suspiciously around a corner. When she saw it was me, she ran up to me meowing the whole way and jumped on my leg, just like a dog.

I'd never seen a cat do that before.
