She was on a leash in one of the sidewalk-side one-room shops. See her in the middle? Standing on all the packages on the counter? I couldn't resist that craning little head. I went up and let her smell my fingers and she was friendly so I petted her--she was so little with HUGE yellow-gold eyes! So cute!! Her owner was sitting out of sight behind the counter. What followed then was what I would call a successful conversation! I called his cat "hen piaoliang" (very pretty) and *even* asked him if it was a male or female ("nu-de, nan-de?"). And he told me she was a she. That was it. She nibbled on my fingers a bit, he scolded her, I shrugged because I figured that meant she liked me. Then I said thanks and left.
Tah dah! My language attempts have not been entirely futile!
