In this context it has to do with religion. Ancient egypt loved cats much. Christianity condemned the egypteean religion, so the cats.
Still Cyprus has more cats than people.
sometimes religion can help animals for sure, aren't the Turks famous for liking cats too?
reply
Unfortunately, no. The level of education in Turkey is low. Result: Pervasive animal dislike.
Finally, the law on the slaughter of stray dogs was passed by the parliament...

fuck, that's sad, i always see youtube shorts of people being nice to cats in Turkey and thought it was like a national thing. usually, these things are from Istabull tho so maybe more of a localised thing , or just social media bias
reply
Yes, exactly.
I have a lot of neighbors who are angry with me because I feed about 20 cats.

I don't think it has anything to do with religion either. Because superstitions were the reason for the slaughter of cats in the Middle Ages. No religion likes superstitions. (By the way, I believe that there is actually only one religion that exists under different names)
