Cat fans can’t help but photograph cats and say “hello!” to them when they meet them in the street. Some cats are shy, some cats are friendly, some cats are angry and want to be left to sleep in the sun. Whichever way you meet cats, you’re sure to get a different expression and sometimes attitude from the cats. Here’s some of my favourite photos of cats taken by me and colleagues at AP.

I had to wait for the cat to stay relatively still in order to get a photo of this. The S24 Ultra often struggled to capture movement.
