I was there too
A cat on Çamlıca Hill was very affectionate and controlled everything he saw. With a meow, he caught our attention and walked back and forth, granting us permission to rub him until he got bored and wandered away.
Better to have an orange kitty as king than an orange man.

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!

We were walking up a narrow street near the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul when I heard a bell of a scooter ring out. The crowds parted and a young man on a scooter with a foot on heavy looking bags zipped past at speed!
I can’t imagine that was a smooth ride on those cobbles…
