Yea. I always say it "cats are nearly-humans".

When I got my first car, and coming back from work, I would blow my car horn and most of the times, my Cat (Suzy) would run into hiding. I guess out of fear tho.

And a couple of times too, if she's alone, when she hears loud footsteps too, she also goes into hiding until she gets to see the owner of those foots before she gets to come out.

But overtime, she has gotten used to my car horn, she comes to welcome me even from the gate. But then, she hasn't changed as regards those footsteps. Cats are loving if u give them love. Whatever you give to them, they give you in return. I'm sure with time, you might not need to look out for them cuz ur daughter would be their new best friend.
