When this little creature noticed me kneeling down to take its picture, it came trotting over to meet me. It was lovely to make a new acquaintance.

Another lucky day.


I was surprised to turn a corner on a path to see this cat strolling along. When it noticed me, it curled its tail and sauntered over.

It was collared and belled, with a GPS locator too.

I often see people walking their dogs on a leash on this path and have never seen a cat here. I have seen coyotes in this area, though.

It might have been a Balinese or Himalayan.

This is a new friend I met today.

This frisky adolescent cat spotted me in the distance.

It came bounding over.

After introductions, it kept pace with me for a couple of hundred metres. It stalked me, slinking in the underbrush and bursting into sight and running over for a head scratch.

Then it dashed away chasing invisible faeries. A delightful new friend.
