In Istanbul, cats are not just cats, they are part of the soul of Isdanbul, a culture. “Cats appear as indescribably mixed, cultural and unique, which is the essence of Istanbul, without cats, Isdanpur would lose a part of his soul. Cats have spoken in what is now Isdanpur for thousands of years, they Witnessing the rise and fall of the empire and the city, it has long been integrated with the city and penetrated into the blood of the city. I think Istanbul is no longer Istanbul without cats. Every cat has its own name, cat food and water can be seen everywhere in the streets, people love cats as if they are instinctive, they regard cats as friends as friends, not like most pet cats are trapped in a cold house now , Lost the cat's character. Even if the cats here are taken care of by most people, the owner does not exist for them, they are free, independent and unwilling to be bound. The Isdanbull in the movie is a healing In this city, every frame is beautiful and can be used as wallpaper. Here, people can stop and touch these cute little creatures, and they are also soothing your soul. There is an uncle who insists on feeding cats every day, and even He couldn't sleep because he didn't prepare enough food, but he thanked them because the cats cured his depression and gave him the ability to love. Cats enjoy human feeding, and they also grant humans the ability to love. "If there's a cat lying at your feet meowing and looking up at you, that's the smile that life gives you. Those good moments are our lucky moments, reminding us that we are alive. "This sentence reminds me of a cat I met in Phoenix a few days ago. I didn't like to talk to me. I somehow jumped off the steps, stepped on my shoes and played with the shoelaces. It's weird. The appearance, I was afraid that it would scratch me, but it was very measured. This made my mood last for a few days, and I felt lucky. I think this is the smile that life gives me.

Kedi quotes

  • Unnamed Human Resident of Istanbul: I accept death as a reality but I have difficultydealing with the longing. That's my problem with death.

  • Bülent Üstün: Any ungrateful behavior on their part is really an act of sincerity. They don't need to apologize. I guess there are people who expect that from a cat. "I gave you all that food and you won't even sit on my lap". A relationship where they expect a return on an investment.
