I like these a lot, they aren't unlike the sort of images I aspire to. For such shots, I use the 35/1.4 or 60/2.4 (or, a bit of a twist, the 27/2.8 or 90/2). Or rarely, a drop-damaged (fluky AF and contacts, have to reset camera or remove and reattach lens, images are fine) 56/1.2.

Although the 35/1.4 and 60/2.4 bracket this lens (and all have the same 25 mm  maximum absolute aperture, which is perhaps the main control on blur), the angle of view and your results make me think about this lens. Plus WR, AF speed, and size. Hmm. Thanks for sharing your images (esp. the street cat!). All the best,

(edited for typos)
