Every cat in the lens has a name

Every cat in the lens has a name, so I feel really pampered. I can really appreciate what the narration says: Istanbul’s cats are special because they are also residents here, and Istanbul is their city. Every adult cat under the camera is free. They will stay by the human friend and listen to their company when they need it. They will also go out to make friends or'hook up' with other humans, or come to human friends when they want to be spoiled. This may be a kind of fetters. There are clean water in containers, warning signs and cat food everywhere on the street. Many people spontaneously take care of the milk cat. I was most impressed by one shot. A little brother found an injured milk cat and gave it to one Uncle: As soon as I saw it, I thought I wanted to come to you. The uncle carefully checked the situation of the milk cat, with compassion in his eyes, holding the little milk cat in both hands to the veterinarian. The residents of this city love cats sincerely. The young people who paint feel that cats are here to accompany him, but cats are free. The uncle and aunt who had suffered from depression felt that the cat rescued him and began to feed the street cats spontaneously. The little brother who runs a coffee shop rescues the cats free of charge and sends them for regular inspections. The vet will give the cats credit... The rapid development of the city has been replaced by high-rise buildings, and the street cats have naturally lost their habitat and play places. The film is reflecting. I am also thinking about how to give small residents a place to live in these cities. It's a very loving and cute movie. It doesn't feel boring at all. Every cat is too individual. The inhabitants of this city have love.

Kedi quotes

  • Bülent Üstün: Down the hill in Cihangir, there used to be a big harbor during the Ottoman era. Ships from Norway and elsewhere would come with cargo. Sailors would keep cats on board to fend off rats. As cargo was being unloaded, cats would get off the boat thinking that they'd made it to land. And trek up to the top of the hill. Later, they'd miss the boat and begin life here in Cihangir. Now, there are countless kinds of cats in this area. Norwegian cats, and cats from all over the world. There's a lot of variety. Later, the first Ottoman sewers were built in this part of the city. And giant rats would terrorize residents. That's why every house had a cat. To fend off the giant sewer rats.

  • Unnamed Human Resident of Istanbul: The streets seem empty to me without cats but it's a strange situation. It's a total dilemma if you ask me. The city no longer accommodates them. But at home, and I know from my own cats they forget their cat-ness after a while.
