LOL!! My kitties scatter to the 4 winds when the doorbell rings, or when someone new enters the house. They return quickly when it is Daughter #2 because she is over here at least weekly and she loves kitties. When the grands are here they disappear when the adults come in, and then come back out when it is just the kiddoes. If it is a stranger they're out of site until the coast has been clear for at least an hour, or until they're hungry.
