happy too, cats are like the real boss in Turkey:) 

- Cats are not fighty here, and they love your affection.

- Many cat shelters are being set in the streets, especially in istanbul, with water and food inside.

- Turks would feed the cats around their homes, they would even adopt some if they are able to.

- Cats are allowed to hang out wherever they want, from metro, shops / shopping malls to mosques. 

*cats: mostly I'm talking about the street cats*

Thanks for the link. I knew nothing about this.

That's  different than from where I live in the U.S. Strays are left to fend for themselves.

There's also [this piece](https://www.insideoutinistanbul.com/prophet-muhammed-cats/) that speaks about how cat-friendly Turkey is.

Maybe @Natalia can chime in to give a personal anecdote or two about this?

Watching countless YouTube videos set in Turkey, you can't help but notice how they care for cats there.
