If you do not like cats and are uncomfortable with cats, do not think of coming to Istanbul.

If you do not like cats and are uncomfortable with cats, do not think of coming to Istanbul because it is impossible to find a cat-free environment here. Stray cats trust the people of this city and live peacefully with them. People are happy to share their food with stray cats. All restaurants have cats that sleep and want delicious food. Street cats won't go hungry unless restaurants and good people go extinct. And don't forget this. Cats know good people and only go to their tables.

I say this with all my sincerity. I live in Turkey. We are experiencing in 5 years events that another country would experience in 50 years. Terrorist attacks, devastating earthquakes, coups, etc. but nothing happens to Turkey. We overcome all challenges in an interesting and simple way. We believe this is because of our compassion for animals. We treat them well. Because we love both them and God who created them. Cats and dogs pray for us, and God protects us from evil and difficulties. Praise be to Allah, who created it completely and flawlessly.
