Happy National Cat Day!

A cat lovers paradise — from Turkeys biggest city Istanbul to the ocean side town of Urla, this beloved animal was everywhere. As we wandered the streets or waterfront, we spotted cats; curled up in a shoe box, playing in the fish nets or dozing on a park bench while enjoying the sunshine. While many are domesticated, many more are strays yet all loved and fed by everyone.
