Before people complaining about why she didnt take him with her etc , cats who lives outside are rarely wild in Turkey especially in Istanbul. Theyre well fed , they get their shelters , their food and affection from other people. By being outside theyre never bored.

@@ladyselin35 No, no, I knew what you meant. I was adding to your observations. My comment was aimed at the people, as you said, who asked why not take the cat. So I meant, it is not easy to tell if the cat has an owner or not. When there are so many cats on the streets, it would be difficult to know which one does not belong to someone just from how they look. 👍

I felt bad for my neighbors cat seeing it sit under a tree at 3am in the rain so I fed her some kibbles and she followed me down the street and stayed over at my house. The owner was was wondering where she had disappeared to for week. She got along great with my little dwarf bunny but I apologized for feeding her cat and now it’s always over. Eventually they moved away and so did I. Sweet little kitty.

We are providing both for dogs and cats everyday. 1 of our cats had 4 babies recently. Now we are also taking care of them.

My sons were not even living with me anymore when she passed away. But, the bottom line is, "Katty the Cat" gave us lots of unconditional love. Gee, I miss her.

You can't. Cats in Istanbul are looked after by the community and are free. (Food & Water cups and small shelters around every corner / in front of most of the houses for them, as well as for dogs) Even municipality veterinaries that look after them for 100% free are obligated to put them back to the exact same spot they take them from. Cat's might choose to go to people's houses, but more often than not they go back out where they are free.

as someone who lives in Istanbul yes you can. that's how I adopted my cat. this is how most people adopt their cats. and the community supports this because you are protecting them from the dangers on the street. take that cat go to vet and check to see if he has a microchip and if he doesnt he can be yours now.

[@demran]

@@yisc9361 you can't... at least not without asking the permission of everyone that is looking after that cat, it is extremely rude and thoughtless.. I've witnessed many arguments on this subject and it has always caused more suffering then it did good. Ignorant and unqualified random people taking cats from neighborhoods that others care for, just to throw the cat away miles away from its actual home when things get hard. It is much easier to adopt when they have babies, and by people that you actually know are capable. This is even worse for dogs, since it is much harder to look after them, they become homeless right after getting used to a home.

Looking at the bench, this looks like Turkey. It's common to leave food out for stray animals there, and they sometimes even become the neighborhood pets. Like it's not uncommon for a whole community to look after stray animals whenever they show up, so it's kinda normal to see healthy looking stray cats and dogs resting on the street or asking for treats if you're eating on a restaurant.
