Just to prove that we are not total cat elitists, here are a few Istanbul dogs.
With it being winter and rather nippy, the dogs on the streets are often curled up and trying to keep warm.
And they seem to think they can nap just about anywhere.
I know that they look dead, but I swear that I saw life signs from all of these dogs.
This poor doggy was tied up and the birds were just teasing him.

We took advantage of a brightly sunny and mild day to take the ferry up the Bosphorus Strait to Anadolu Kavagi and back. There were many beautiful sights along the way.
Even though we were on a boat, I still managed to get a picture of a cat.
DaddyBird’s bare hands got cold after a while.
Our destination – Anadolu Kavagi
The ultimate in hawking – men were calling to us as the boat was landing, telling us that their restaurant was the best and cheapest.
If you have a house on the waterline, it is important to have a boat garage.
We had some lovely fish for lunch.
After our three hour exploration of Anadolu Kavagi, it was back to the ferry.
Our day was far from over, however, once we were back to shore. We headed up to Galata Tower.
And this is why we didn’t climb the tower –
We had dinner and did some souvenir shopping along Istiklal street and then took the funicular tram down the hill and then home to the hotel for a deserved rest.
