Kedi…
In November last year we spent a week in Istanbul.
Here are a few of the fabulous street cats we came across.
On the whole the cats are well looked after — shelters and food and most seem in good health.
The first one nearly came home with us. I could fit this little kitten in my pocket. Look at those eyes!

This old bruiser was so friendly — definitely king of the street, been around the block a few times…

This old fellow is near the end. He lives downstairs in the apartment block we stayed in. Didn't move much from the chair, but always enjoyed a stroke and snacks.

She's completely at ease amongst the crowds of the Grand Bazaar…

There is a rather lovely film about Istanbul's cats… Kedi
