A Watchful Tabby

A very alert cat watched me carefully as I walked past in that graveyard in Istanbul where I photographed another cat shown here recently.

Most of the cats look like they’re really well cared for, but they’re probably all fairly young. I can’t imagine life on the street is easy for them.

There’s one thing I loved about Istanbul, and that was all the cats. Some streets had many cats, some had none. Others had a cat wandering across the road, near a dog sprawled out in the sun, asleep. It was lovely seeing all the animals.

This feline family was photographed on the wall of the graveyard near Eyüp Sultan Mosque in the city. There were loads more about too!
