This documentary about cats has actually been widely circulated among cat slaves for a long time, and cat lovers all over the world will be disappointed. The documentary "Kedi" means "cat" in Turkish, and is translated into "cat-loving city" and "cat in Istanbul" in Chinese, which completely clarifies the relationship between cats and the ancient city of Istanbul.
Next, let's take a look at Istanbul, a city that loves cats!
As the former capital of Turkey, Istanbul is the largest city and tourist attraction in Turkey, with both Greek romance and oriental simplicity, and its beauty is fascinating!
Hagia Sophia, Suleiman Mosque, Underground Water Palace, Topkapa Palace, etc. They are all scenic spots that must be punched in to Turkey.
When I saw this documentary, I realized that Istanbul is still a huge cat city!
According to the official statistics of Istanbul, there are as many as125,000 cats roaming freely in the streets in an area of 5,343 square kilometers in Istanbul, with an average of at least 23 cat owners per square kilometer!
Centuries ago, Istanbul was a trading port and a transit point for navigation. Ships from all over the world call here. Cats kept by sailors to prevent mice from getting on board will jump off the boat and play. They accidentally miss the voyage, so almost all kinds of cats from all over the world can be found here!
People in Istanbul have loved cats for thousands of years. They think that mysterious and lovely cats are the bridge between them and their owners. There are various legends about prophets and cats.
There is a Turkish proverb: "If you kill a cat, you need to build a mosque to get forgiveness from the Lord", which shows people's love for cats.
People don't want to restrict cats' free nature, so they can freely go in and out of any corner of Istanbul: sunbathing in front of Hagia Sophia, playing in the courtyard of the Blue Mosque, walking up and down in front of the Turkish barbecue shop, and even jumping up and down in the ancient city of Ephesus.
Wooden "cat villas" with local government signs can often be seen on the roadside in Istanbul, and blankets and pillows are often laid outside the shop windows to provide a comfortable resting place for homeless stray cats.
Cats don't have to worry about food The government and caring people will provide cat food. Restaurants, cafes and even small shops and teahouses are also very willing to provide water and food for stray cats. They also throw expired and rotten things into the trash can, so that cats won't eat bad stomachs.
The government has designated veterinary hospitals to provide treatment for stray cats free of charge. According to Turkish law, if someone hits an animal such as a cat or a dog with his car and sends it to a veterinary hospital, the state will reimburse you for the fuel cost. If you want to adopt a stray cat in the street, the government will vaccinate it for free.
Cats living in affluent communities are happier, they will get better care, and all cats will grow happy and fat. Private universities not only set up excellent cat houses, but also provide free cat food and take care of cats.
Because of people's love, cats living in Istanbul can be said to be very individual. Previously, a fat cat, "Tombili", who likes Ge You paralysis, was liked by people because of its indifferent and detached attitude. It has tens of millions of fans on Facebook.
After Tombili's death, the government also erected a bronze statue on the street he frequented.
There is a cat named "Pakize" who is a little expert in routines. Every day, he lies on the railing in front of the ATM of the bank, waiting for people to buy dried fish for him. ...
...
There is also a cat named "Gli" on the international news. In 20 13, when Obama visited Turkey, he couldn't help but stop and slap the cat in Istanbul's Hagia Sophia.
In fact, in addition to being kind to cats, Turks are enthusiastic about all kinds of small animals. You can see Wang Xing people sleeping in a mess everywhere in Istanbul, which shows that the city has given them a sense of security.
In the snowstorm, Turkey will provide food and warm nests for cats and dogs to prevent them from freezing. Shops will open doors for dogs to sleep in, and cats will be taken to their homes to give them a nest.
Bread will also be hung on branches to prevent birds from starving in the ice and snow.
