According to Gahaton, they had finished grocery shopping and were heading toward the City Walk area while pushing their carts.
Michelle explained that they briefly stopped when one of her companions wanted to buy a snack. Moments later, a black stray cat suddenly approached and bit her on the left leg.
After being bitten, Gahaton immediately sought assistance from mall personnel and security staff. She reported the incident and received initial medical attention when a nurse arrived and performed wound care on the affected area.
