@kyotokitty: That sounds about right! You only get two scans unless they're worried about you. SIL had three.

Our cats have been doing this sort of thing all week with the snow. Their cat door is in my home office, so every 45 minutes I get powdery felines rushing through the joint with what I imagine are thoughts along these lines:
