I am a crazy cat lady. OK. There I’ve said it. I used to be a dog lady but since my beloved Rex passed away shortly followed by my dear Scooter cat my heart has been stolen by Leroy. I blame his awesomeness for turning me into the cat obsessed woman I am today.
There is no break from being a crazy cat lady, even on holiday.
Istanbul has a cat problem. Feral cats roam the streets and and add an air of mystery as they slumber amongst ancient ruins. For me they added to my experience of the city. I drove John crazy wanting to photograph each one for my upcoming coffee table book called “The Cats of Istanbul”.
Most of the felines I met looked well fed and quite self-assured. I noticed that people leave food out for them which is great.
Here is a highlight reel of my favourite cats of Istanbul. I especially loved the regal tan and white cat of the archeological museum and the sleepy grey cat of the Hagia Irini.
Sorry, nothing found.
