Petting random cats on the street (not sure if this is truly related to my condition but I don't see anyone acting like this - I even have a Google Photos album that I show to willing parties)

Guilty! Half of the pictures from my last holiday are pictures of cute strays I encountered on the streets.

I talk to them too, not exactly like a baby though.
 
I can’t help talking to cats either. I often get funny looks on the streets. Luckily my boyfriend is the same, he has to pet every cat he sees and talk to them too.
 
I’ve started talking to them too and I bend down and pet them while looking around hoping no one will see me. If people do see me, I stop talking and smile over or ignore them then quickly stand up and walk away. I still look at the cat while walking away and sometimes it will follow me. I would start talking to it again and say ‘stay’ like you would with a dog and it’ll keep walking quickly and they do stop eventually if I keep going. I sometimes speak to it like a human and say something like ‘I didn’t except you to follow me. Go home, sweet baby.’

This is currently my favourite neighborhood cat friend.

His name is Beau.

He's so friendly.

He will fall asleep in my lap if I let him.

This is a beautiful stray that lingered around my bungalow last holiday. He wouldn’t let me touch him, but over the days he got more comfortable around me, napping on the terrace and being all around majestic.

Same holiday, different cat: this cheeky youngster kept inviting itself into the bungalow, boldly sauntering inside, napping everywhere and handing out all the purrs and headbutts.
