Istanbul (Turkish: İstanbul) is the political, economic, cultural, financial, news, trade, and transportation center of Turkey, a world-famous tourist destination, and one of the bustling international metropolises. It is located at the eastern end of the Balkan Peninsula, on the west coast of the southern mouth of the Bosphorus. Because the geographical relationship is close to the sea, there will be more seafood, and naturally there will be more cats, because fish is the favorite of cats.

The film records the various interesting fates of different citizens and different cats in the city in a documentary way: among them, I think there are three most touching stories to share with you:

Story 1: A middle-aged man who runs a boat. He tells about his indissoluble bond with a civet cat. Once he was in trouble and was very embarrassed when he was penniless. He was in need of 120 lire, and suddenly a cat came He came over to meow at him, confused, he followed the magical cat to a wallet, he picked it up, opened it and saw that it was exactly 120 lire. Urgent.

Since this incident, he really loves cats very much. When he has time, he goes to places where there are stray cats to deliver food, feeds the kittens with milk, and raises several cats on his boat to show his respect for cats! It turns out that cats can read human expressions and mental language! I want to win the lottery: will the cat tell me the number? 2nd prize is fine...

Story 2: The cat that heals the trauma: The protagonists of the story are a middle-aged woman who is in the painful stage of bereavement and a middle-aged man who previously suffered from mental depression. The middle-aged woman has more than a dozen cats at home. Most of them are colored cats and they are all fat. They look rich and graceful. At first glance, they can be regarded as treasures. According to the hostess, she does not give cats cat food, but It is given to them by cooking chicken or fish and shrimp every day, so the coat color is different.

When a person encounters something that cannot be solved for a period of time, the company of a cat will make him busy and distracted. Watching a cat who eats with gusto will also increase his appetite, and his mood will gradually improve.

The middle-aged man regularly went to the stray cats to deliver food to them in a centralized manner. I saw that he was carrying two large bags of food, and said that he felt that he was carrying less. After he let out a cry, thirty or forty cats suddenly appeared. He introduced There are some at the other end, there should be about 60, and sure enough, those cats came out when they heard his footsteps, and he could tell which ones were older sisters and which ones were younger sisters.

Originally he was a taciturn person with a withdrawn personality. After a mental problem, he began to contact cats and communicate with them. After a while, he became visibly happy and found a feeling of love! Just be kind to cats: whether you're a beggar or a king, they'll reward you the same!

Story 3: Aristocratic cat: This cat was not born of aristocrats. The light brown coat is a bit like an American blue cat. It settled on a chair at the entrance of a restaurant. No matter how you chase it away, it will not go away, just like it belongs to it. Like the place of birth, it has a very stubborn and principled temper: it never asks for food from any guests, and seems to regard itself as the owner of the restaurant.

When it is hungry, it will look at the glass window to remind it that the meal is coming, but it will not enter the restaurant no matter how hungry it is. It is very restrained and measured and waits at the door anxiously. Will be able to stretch and bend to find food in the trash can. God! This cat is just too personal, with emphasis!

If you want to travel to Istanbul one day, fill in the reason for your visit on the visa form: you can fill in the city of love that loves cats, haha!

    The cat's uniquely loner personality likes and respects it. But the film is too scattered and random.

    The bgm is very unique, and the price is really low. The exchange rate of 1 RMB is 1.3 Turkish lira, and the store has never sold soda for 3.8 yuan. The Green Religion has established the protection status of cats from its teachings, and Japan is from mythology. The Chinese people who have experienced too many hardships are basically resource scramblers. When I feed stray cats, I never dare to touch them, for fear that they will be less wary of humans. In the downstairs community, security guards caught cat thieves in winter a few years ago, and many fat cats disappeared in the past winter. The stray cats in the film can live for eight or nine years, and our three years are more than three years. An uncle in the film said. The dog regards human beings as God, and the cat is not ungrateful, but he knows that man is only the messenger of God, and he can also perceive God.

Kedi quotes

  • Unnamed Human Resident of Istanbul: Dogs think people are God, but cats don't. Cats are aware of God's existence. Cats know that people act as middlemen to God's will. They're not ungrateful, they just know better.

  • Unnamed Human Resident of Istanbul: Life is beautiful. If you know how to live. You can love if your heart is open. Everything is beautiful when you look at it with love. If you can enjoy the presence of a cat, a bird, a flower what can I say, all the world will be yours.
