I've seen a couple people walking cats on leashes to be fair . But I find it odd. Better than letting them out on their own though I suppose.

When you're out and see someone walking a dog do you tend to go over and pet it, or if you see a cat or other pet on the street do you generally approach it?
No never. I am a bit cautious of dogs.

I don't touch cats I don't know but I do sometimes meow at them.

If you're a pet owner, do you prefer people to approach you when you're out with your dog or pet panther or snake on a skateboard or whatever, or do you prefer to be left alone?
I don't own a dog any more, but I prefer to be left alone, I'd regularly walk my lab and never had anyone try to pet him. I would find it a bit weird I think.

Same here. Strangers don't come up to people without dogs and just start talking to them for no reason. Why should it be any different if I'm with one?

When I walk my dogs I get very upset if I come across an unleashed dog.

Why is that weird? Serious. Quick meow as I'm walking past. If nobody is looking.

I wouldn't do it if people were around, but sometimes I'm walking down the street and there's a cat staring so I say hello.

I don't think they approve as I can't remember one meowing back.

i'm thinking what you think sounds like a meow probably sounds like random bull**** to them. that's just a guess but unless you're really good at mimicking cats i imagine they can tell a cat voice from an human voice.

My cat meows back but she's very vocal. She was the runt and that's how she survived but **** can it be annoying.

They probably don't respond because of how badly you butcher their language.
