THE CATS OF ISTANBUL 🇹🇷 Funny Street Cat Video - Cute Street cats in Istanbul
Cute Street cats in Istanbul 🇹🇷 Funniest Stray Cat Video

During my stay in Istanbul, I could not help but. No wonder, Istanbul is also known as the capital of cats, some even call it "Catstanbul". I decided to do a video collage of the many feral cats and cute street cats I came across in one funny street cat video that captures the many feral cats looking for food, playing, relaxing, hunting, or enjoying the menu of the day.

The cats of Istanbul are really everywhere. The New York Times estimates that in Istanbul alone, a megacity of 15 million people, there are thought to be 125,000 feral cats roaming free. Other estimates range from a hundred thousand to over a million stray cats. It was easy to find street cats in Turkey for my funny street cat video. I normally don't record many animal videos but I had fun with cats and the street cats in Istanbul. Towards the second part of the video you will see street cats at night, roaming the street in search of food.

No matter where you go in the city, you will see cats looking for food or eating raw meat, fish and and other delicacies. In most cases, they don't have to look far. Istanbul's streets are lined with food and water bowls and small cat houses placed by residents in a communal effort to look after the street cats. Many Turkish citizens view street animals as communally-owned pets, rather than traditional strays. And while the cats are not adopted formally, they are taken care of by no one and everyone, a truly giant community network of cat caring. A recent blanket no-kill, no capture policy will ensure that cats will continue to be around in the future too.

This funny street cat video is part of my mini series of my visit to Istanbul Turkey where I cover tips on what to do in Istanbul. I hope you will enjoy this Turkey travel vlog and leave me a comment in the comment section.
