There were a number of cats hanging out in front of the foreign fast-food chain

Hayam Wuruk Street in Jakarta is a wide street and there are many foreign chain stores on the side of the road. There are also Starbucks and Burger King shops. The food sold in such shops is obviously much expensive than the local food sold in street stalls. But there are people who would rather eat at a restaurant with a western cultural flavor, even if it's a little expensive. Both Starbucks and Burger King had customers inside.

There was a small square in front of the foreign chain stores. And the drivers of the livery service were hanging out there. Uber Eats doesn't operate in Indonesia, but similar services are also available at Grab or Gojek. It would be more convenient to be close by when such an order is placed. The drivers can buy it right away at the store and head to deliver it at once.

Looking closer at the small square, I saw that it wasn't just humans hanging out. There were several cats sitting idly at the edge. Cats are plentiful in the city of Jakarta, and it is not uncommon to see them holding gatherings on the side of the road. I was not sure if these cats were strays or domestic cats. In any case, maybe they are here because they get a little bit of help from humans.
