Food for the orange cat

An orange cat snacking on some kibble in Istanbul. Some people like to say orange cats aren’t very smart, but if you can make yourself so adorable people will feed you, then who’s the smart one?

Yes, I do have a few more photos of cats in Istanbul. Not many, mind, so enjoy them while they last!

She’s guarding a Government building in Istanbul, I think. I forgot to scan that QR code when I was in Turkey and attempts to do so now require a Turkish IP to see it. Well done cat, protecting your secrets.

Two cats looking for donations

Two cats on a makeshift bed and a sign looking for donations. Unfortunately, I had no change on me, and with inflation the way it is in Turkey, small currency is worthless. €1 is currently around 36Tl.

An alert cat in the sun

In these days of turmoil, what you need is a nice cat to cuddle and care for. They’ll get rid of any vermin too!

King of the Hill

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 time for rest

When the sun is shining, all warm and comforting, and it’s been a long day of work, there’s nothing like having a nap to refresh the mind.

This little kitten followed us up a cobblestone path in Istanbul and was completely friendly, looking for cuddles and being the most adorable cat ever.

A cat family in a box

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!

The Istanbul Skyline

This is part of the Asian side of Istanbul in Turkey. My first time in Asia too, even if I only ventured a few kilometres in!

Our guide said they’re trying to encourage more people to live on this side of the city, but from what I could see, it stretched on almost to distant hills and I wondered how big a city could be.

Cats? I’ve loads of cat photos. I think they’ll need their own “Cats of Istanbul” tag on here!
