lol. That's 70 cat years of separation. I really doubt the cat will be thrilled to see them...not that a cat ever gets thrilled.

Oh, we've seen our three get pretty jazzed. Honest. Youngest of the bunch is the most demonstrative, 'natch. Whenever dinner is announced, he roars into the kitchen, dances back and forth on all four paws, purrs like a snow blower and 'talks' a blue streak.
They're fed in order of seniority so Rhys sometimes gets a bit impatient while awaiting his turn. When he does, he makes silly trilling sounds and repeatedly flops over on his side for attention. Looks as though he's trying to impress upon me that he's "near death from starvation." Which is a blatant lie but he tends towards the dramatic.
I suspect his slogan may be, "If it works, work it."
I'll agree that most cats need to be encouraged to be demonstrative, but it's certainly not impossible to achieve. You need to believe me when I say we've got a three ring circus going on over here. Silly as it sounds, they even know it's a good thing when we applaud for them. That really makes them show off.
Of course our dog likes applause too. Clapping makes her run in circles as fast as she can go. It's hilarious.
Different species show their emotions in different ways. Regardless, I think it's all a lot of fun to watch.
My daughter has a calico who when they lived here would jump into the window sill and meow and then run to the door and ditto when she heard my daughter coming up the front walk. Even if the cat and I had just been playing "retrieve" games she still wanted to see her human (smartest cat I ever knew).
My wife's current cat does the same. Meows when she hears the car and is all over my wife when she come sin the driveway. But she doesn't retrieve.
My cat is just useless. If it's cold at night or if the woodstove goes out, she comes up to the bedroom and bats my nose until I wake up and let her under the covers.

LOL! No, but if they're still in the same house, he'll walk past them to where the cat food was always kept. Then he'll settle down as though he was never gone. Hey, that's what cats do.
