Istanbul Cats

Surely, you knew there would eventually be an “all cat” post. We are those crazy people who stop to photograph and pet stray cats wherever we go.
This little calico was behind chain link fence, so no petting, but she was definitely in the mood to play. She gets my vote for most beautiful, so far.
Peek-a-boo. This one was a bit cagy. A picture was all we were going to get from her.
We hit the jackpot outside the Hagia Sophia.

The longer I stood here taking pictures of this the more cats joined. There was one behind the tree I discovered later.
This tabby has a benefactor somewhere.
Even the Hagia Sophia has its own cat. She was happy to get attention and pose.
This orange tabby hangs out in the Hagia Sophia gift shop. He holds his head to the side due to an injury. The shop staff look out for him.
Another park and another crowd of cats who have someone feeding them.
This calico was hanging out inside the tram station to get out of the cold.
That’s not all the cats we’ve encountered, but you get the idea.

They’re pretty big for stray cats! but they’re so adorable, one more reason to visit Istanbul lol
May we get back to the subject at hand, i.e. the history surrounding you! 😉
hey, cats ARE historical-they are royalty! (giggle) I particularly like the shot of the one in the lattice work or whatever it was above the last one of Pauli. I wish Moses were more friendly to other felines…sigh.
I don’t think I could ever live over there with you guys. I’d adopt 20 cats!
