Aww. So lucky you come across cute cats when you are out and about. The cats in my area are always hiding when I go outside. I can see them from my balcony (on the 4th floor), but never when I am actually downstairs. The only time I actually see cats outside is when I visit the fish market.
Couple of times I have come across a cat sitting and intently looking into a closed manhole (probably in hunting mode waiting for rats) and they completely ignore me when I meow at them! Lol.
