“Kedin var mı?” — Do you have a cat?
In Istanbul, the answer is almost always yes—but the locals might tell you something even more accurate: you don’t own a cat… the cat owns you. As you wander through the city’s winding streets, you’ll quickly notice that cats are everywhere—lounging in cafés, napping on shop displays, or greeting passersby like tiny neighborhood ambassadors.
These aren’t “strays”—they’re beloved members of the community. Istanbul’s residents care for them with remarkable kindness, leaving out food and water and making space for them in everyday life. This deep-rooted bond dates back centuries, blending culture, tradition, and a shared respect between humans and animals.
From famous felines like the late Hagia Sophia resident Gli to the thousands of community cats roaming the city today, Istanbul offers something truly special: a place where people and cats live side by side in harmony.
