We had inside/outside cats growing up, and they would follow us to school and make it back home on their own. When we were playing in the street or in our backyard, if we hurt ourselves they would go inside to "tell" our parents. One of my cats would wait by the window when I was at school, and when I stayed up too late at night come to "complain" to me to get me to go to sleep.
