Many people now have cats in their homes, and it is natural for people to interact closely with domestic cats.
However, there are also some cat slaves who do not smoke cats at home, or are unwilling to bear the long-term obligation of raising cats. They smoke cats on a whim. This gave birth to a new underground industrial chain.
Recently, Mr. Wang from Beijing broke the news that he strayed into this underground cat-sucking club while shopping. Due to the strict monitoring of the club, he did not leave any video information, but he still got the club’s promotional card——
Just looking at the content of the card, the editor can't bear to look at it! The underground cat-sucking club has a large scale and a wide range of services, unheard of, unseen! How can a society under the rule of law allow such a "hiding dirt" industrial structure to exist!
Subsequently, Mr. Wang reported to the nearest police station. That night, the police wiped out the underground cat-sucking club and arrested two suspects.
The following content is an unannounced visit by a reporter from CATT TV station——

At the moment, looking at cat-sucking clubs like this across the country is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind this kind of industrial structure is "people's heart is not old, the world is going down, it's the family and the family who can't fall down, and the wild psychology outside is at work."
Today, the editor reveals for everyone, the world's largest underground cat sucking base-Istanbul.
This city has another name, Cat City.
The streets here are usually like this-

There are so many cats in Istanbul that they can be stunned.
So here comes the point. The documentary I want to recommend for everyone today is about this city and the cats in this city——
"Cat City"
It also has another name: "Istanbul's Cat".
Don't jump off as soon as you hear that it is a documentary. The boring films are the same, and the interesting films have their own merits.
Have you seen the cat’s angle?
(Come on, sweet heart, take a bath~)
(Let me grin, who is this person so ugly???)
Hhh, just kidding, the perspective of this film is very strange. Half of it starts from cats, and the other half starts from people. It fully demonstrates the high degree of harmony between the souls of people and cats.
From the precise tracking and pushing and pulling of the camera, seamless switching between people and cats, it shows the degree of care of the film. This shows that the real skill of the whole film is not editing, but presenting the natural state.
Looking at the world with cat eyes, you will know its character, what it is thinking, where it is going, and what it is going to do.
This is undoubtedly a kind of rare respect. The video output content of a country is usually the core basis for people to treat things. Even if it is a cat, there is a "cat right" here.
On the other hand, there are many people around us starting from this kind of "human" with a high degree of self and attitude towards animals, such as the "heart cat" that is popular on the Internet.
This seemingly cute and interesting action is sought after by many "poop shovelers" and imitated one after another, but in fact, it is harmful to cats:
But can we say that the shit shovelers who follow this action don't love their cats? No, I even dare to say that most shit shovelers can smile like old mothers when facing their cats.
We love cats, but we haven't learned how to get along with it naturally, and we haven't even thought about getting to know it in the past, because it's just a pet.
In Istanbul, you will see the real freedom of cats, and you will also see the respect of freedom by the people of Istanbul.
Usually, we are accustomed to calling cats without owners "stray cats". They are very dirty and often look for food in the trash can. With bad luck, some of them will freeze and starve to death in the cold winter.
But almost all cats in Istanbul have no owners. Their state with humans is not the relationship between people and pets, but the symbiosis state of one race and another.
You will often see adults and children who stop to play cats at any time, and the cats will quietly accept your petting.
They absorb your negative energy and bring you the power of peace and harmony.
On the streets there, you can see clean water basins and food specially prepared for cats (and dogs) everywhere.
These things are not done by the animal protection agency, but a habit formed spontaneously by the local people. These things may be placed by a certain household, or a certain store or door.
The cats in Istanbul are not afraid of people. When two cats are fighting, even if you walk close, they will not run away.
You will often see cats and dogs taking a quiet nap in the sun on the side of the road where the crowds live.
Or in the bustling commercial street, they walk through the crowd, rubbing shoulders with you or standing shoulder to shoulder.
Moreover, many people in this city are spontaneously helping the cat groups without food and water, as well as the abandoned kittens.
The uncle Istanbul in the green striped shirt in the documentary was very impressive. The clerk brought him an injured little cat and said: "The kitten is injured. The only thing I can think of is you."
Just this sentence is enough to show that this uncle has rescued countless cats.
He carefully flattened his hands, looked at the kitten distressedly, and looked elsewhere uncomfortably.
From the ride to the hospital, he has been careful to maintain this posture all the time.
What they have done has allowed the cats there to be born free. There are almost no “pet cats” raised in captivity in Istanbul. In other words, the city is a cat’s “nest”, and all Istanbul people belong to them. Shovel Officer".
For this reason, the cats there have strong personalities. Like people, they are paid enough attention to possess thoughts and "personal" personality (cat personality).
Bangu
For example, this cat named Bangu has been with the owner of the clothing factory for eight years. It is very stubborn and sensitive.
When the "master" calls it, if it doesn't want it, it pretends that it can't hear it; but at the same time it enjoys touching it, and if it needs to be loved by others, it will pester the "master".
Sometimes when the "master" pets other cats, Bangu will be angry and jealous.
Elvis
Elvis, who lives in a western restaurant by the sea, is called the "king of cats" by the restaurant owner. He looks very handsome and domineering.
This is not a master who eats idle meals. He works for a western restaurant and works night shifts.
Elvis’ job is to catch mice. Of course, no one lets him catch mice. This is his bounden duty. Sometimes when he gets tired from work, he lays on the beach, blowing the sea breeze, and looking at the sea view.
Overlord Flower
This female cat, called the Overlord Flower by people nearby, has the same personality as her name——
It is the most difficult one of all female cats, and it makes all fishermen a headache. She is surrounded by titles such as "Fish Thief" and "Puppy Predator", and is a sister on the street.
Overlord flower does not like tender love, it likes domineering. Its husband is always cautious and respectful to it.
It is jealous and has a bad temper. If there is a beautiful female cat near her husband, it will go up and tear it.
Duman
Doman, who lives in a fast food restaurant, is a gentleman who treats customers and clerk with courtesy.
The door of a fast food restaurant is always open, but even if it is hungry, it never enters. It just lays on the glass window at the door and knocks on the window with its paw a few times.
He is very gluttonous, likes bacon, and is losing weight.
Throughout the documentary, the relationship between man and cat is so harmonious and natural. They seem to have long understood that every soul is equal, even humans and animals. This respect is fascinating .
To the people of Istanbul, the cat is like water. It flows in the streets and lanes of the city and among the people. It makes people's hearts soft and clear as water.
Istanbul is far away, but this movie is not far away, even if you can’t go to Istanbul, it doesn’t matter—
This Saturday, September 22, the film will be released.
Do not miss! There may be 10,000 cats waiting for you to suck!
