b) - but it should be run off/run away/make myself scarce, etc, not escape. |

Right. To escape, gives the meaning of being trapped or held against your will.
I would change the sentence and not use �escape. �
Make myself scarce... I don �t know. Sounds as if, you knew that cat was going to visit you.
This one makes sense.
b). I used to run away, when I saw a cat. |
