Icy, maybe the cat wanted to come with him/her to somewhere special.

 

My girl cat Pillow does stop-and-wait thing in the house to lure to me to food bowl or front door.

 

She was also naughty yesterday. She didn't come in when she was supposed to. I round up cats inside late afternoon for dinner and usually all cats come in. And my girl cat gets locked in because she is naughty and I can't trust her outside. I sent my daughter out to get her but she ran when my daughter got close to her and stopped a couple of meter away. I told my daughter to leave her as i was afraid of her jumps over fence and wonder away. She came in about 8:30pm after many calls because she was too hungry. Very naughty. I was very worried because it was Australia Day and there are a lot of parties going on.

 

My boys come in when they are called. I let them out if they want to go out after dinner when it's too hot inside and outside is cooler. I can trust them come back in later. But my girl cat has strict curfew.
