My cat Biscuit has stared at the front door every day since Day 1. Day 1,218 now. Minutes per month spent staring at the door: rising. Whatever he's waiting for, he's waiting for it more.

The full study is on my page, with figures and limitations (Biscuit is aware of the study; sample size: one cat; observer bias: I love him).

Has your cat done this? Please give the behaviour code. — R. Adeyemi-Clarke

Methodology: admirable. Coding: consistent (K excepted; K is always difficult). Findings: insufficient data.

The Institute does not give higher praise.

It's on the fridge, at Biscuit height.

Cats know things. Mind you, so do doors. Item 58: "check the doors are locked, then open one and look out for a minute."
