Yep. Run into those cats before. But this one I ran into today, was very affectionate, and was very curious and wanted to follow me. I have also ran into cats like you describe. I think that is more for food than companionship.
It let me pet it and kept trying to follow me up my steps to my house. It was comical trying to let it down. "I know you have a family, you are in great shape, shiney coat, you already have a home". And it was like, "But I like you".
In the case of the shop cat, I don't think it's either food or companionship. I've never fed him or tried to pet him. I think it's just curiosity. He seems utterly fascinated by what goes on.
