I realised that I was taking too many photos of stray cats in Istanbul, so I’ll pop some of the photos in this post and then I won’t need to mention it again. It’s not known how many stray cats there are in the city, but it’s thought to be around 125,000 to 175,000. That’s a lot of cats and the city has a policy to just let them be.
Sitting on a validator is likely quite warm and passengers can always work around it….
Very sweet.
A very focused cat.
A sleepy cat, I liked him…..
This one wanted attention but then saw a bird. Not that I went too near the cats, I’m unsure what little illnesses they might carry.
If you want to support local stray cats, they have cat feeding machines…
Perhaps this is why most of the cats looked relatively healthy. although it seems that many cats are adopted by locals who look out for them.
