It's quite common for cats to exhibit such behavior, and there can be a few reasons behind it:
Anticipation of Outdoors: Cats are curious creatures, and if they are indoor cats, they may be eager to explore the outside world. They might be waiting at the door in the hope of being let outside to investigate and roam.
Waiting for Their Human: Cats often form strong bonds with their owners and may wait at the door when they hear or sense their human coming home. It's their way of expressing excitement and greeting their favorite person.
Expecting Something: Cats can be quite smart and observant. They might associate certain activities or events with the door opening, such as mealtime or playtime. As a result, they could be waiting at the door, anticipating what comes next.
Social Interaction: Cats are social animals and might want to be where their human family members are. Waiting at the door could be their way of seeking interaction, attention, or simply being part of the household activities.
If you're planning to let the cats out, it's essential to ensure it's safe for them to be outside and that they are supervised, especially if they are not used to the outdoors.
Remember, every cat is unique, and their behavior can vary based on their personalities and experiences. Paying attention to their body language and understanding their needs can help create a happier and healthier environment for them.

Cats often enjoy sitting on stairs for various reasons. It's a behavior that comes naturally to them as they are curious and observant animals. Here are some possible reasons why your cat might be sitting on the stairs:

Observation point: Cats are known to be keen observers, and sitting on the stairs gives them a vantage point from which they can keep an eye on their surroundings. They may be watching people or other pets moving around the house or looking out for any potential threats or prey.

Feeling safe: Stairs provide a sense of security for cats. When they sit on the stairs, they can see both upstairs and downstairs, allowing them to monitor movements in multiple directions. It gives them the ability to escape quickly if they feel the need to retreat.
Warmth and comfort: Depending on the time of day and the location of the stairs, they may also find it cozy and warm. Cats often seek out warm spots to rest, and the stairs might be receiving some sunlight or warmth from nearby sources.

Territory marking: Cats have scent glands on their faces and paws, and when they sit or rub against objects, including stairs, they leave their scent as a form of territorial marking.
Preventing accidental surprises: Cats are cautious animals, and sitting on the stairs allows them to anticipate anyone coming up or down, preventing them from being startled or surprised.
Curiosity: Cats are naturally curious creatures, and they might just be exploring the staircase as part of their daily investigations.

It's essential to provide your cat with plenty of enrichment and opportunities to explore different areas of the house. If your cat enjoys sitting on the stairs, make sure the area is safe and free from hazards. Some cats may also like to have a cozy bed or blanket placed on the stairs to make it an even more inviting spot for relaxation.

Cats are obligate carnivores, which means their natural diet consists mainly of meat. While they do need protein from animal sources, some cats may enjoy and tolerate dry food well. However, it's essential to ensure that the dry food you provide is of high quality and specifically formulated for feline nutrition.

Quality: Opt for high-quality cat food that contains real meat as the primary ingredient and avoids fillers, artificial additives, and excessive carbohydrates.
Nutritional balance: Make sure the dry food provides a balanced diet with essential nutrients, including amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that are vital for your cat's health.

Water intake: Dry food contains less moisture than wet food, so ensure your cat drinks enough water to stay properly hydrated.
Portion control: Avoid overfeeding your cat with dry food to prevent obesity or other health issues. Follow the feeding guidelines provided on the packaging and adjust based on your cat's individual needs.
