kedi evi (cat house)

istanbul / 2015 

seeing this made me realize there's a bit of a cat in my character.  'cause i really wanted to go inside and see what's in there, and sort of sniff about .  it was nice to see this, especially with the weather taking a less mediterranean turn recently.  cats are well loved in istanbul despite living outdoors for the most part.  some people do adopt them though.  usually you see them eating outside however.  or if you do enough walking about you'll see a neighborhood "cat lady", usually a larger slow-walking woman in her 50's who is essentially seen as a catering truck to the local cats. in my district cats come out of the bushes and from under cars the moment said cat lady comes about with goodies.
