Don't chase a cat

When I ride a bicycle on an embankment, I may see a cat.
There may be it in the river side of the embankment, or the road side.

I know that must not chase the cat which is in the road side.
Because the cat jumps out on a road, even if cars approach.

I want to take the photograph of the cat.
When I stopped a bicycle, already the cat is cautious.

At first I take a photograph from the remote place.
And I try to approach a little.

There is an opinion that a cat does not escape when we approach by a sidle.
Though I do not know whether it is true, I do that way.

If it looks like the cat is relaxed, I take a photograph again.
And I get closer slowly.

The cat may escape a little or become the preparations evaded anytime.
Cars usually run on the road.

I give it up and leave calmly.
It is good-bye.

It took four years until I understood the art of such tactics.
