Creature's of habit

My cat's, and cat's in general, are a creature of habits. But my 9 little furry angles are also creatures of MY habits.
In the mornings when I get up out of bed, in the middle of the night, when I get out of bed, and yes during the day, if I head up stairs, my little angels will run ahead of me and run and wait by the bathroom door. These cheeky little angles make me well aware of my bathroom habits, I never realized how often I used the loo, until about the third cat, Willow. She waits patiently their in front of the door, because she knows 9 times out of 10 that's where I will be going. The others are also milling around the door, but Willow is right there.
Maggie on the other hand knows that after I leave the bathroom that I will be heading to the office, to check my emails, so she waits in the room, meows at me to hurry up, then jumps on the scratching post, and waits for a little good morning pet.
Maggie also knows that when the phone rings (when I'm home) I will pick it up and start talking, so this little miracle of nature also runs to the ringing phone, expecting to be petted, which she willing receives.
I think it goes back to when she was a very precocious kitten, she would always find something to get into when I was on the phone. It got to the point where I would pick her up, before I picked up the phone. So this is why she associates the phone ringing to her getting attention!!!....Smart kitty!!!!
