Who is wandering

Every city should have a soul that belongs to it, only in this way people in this city will truly have a sense of belonging. Istanbul is more special, its soul is a kind of creature, a kind of cat that is very similar to humans in every way, but completely different. In this city where the ancient and the modern are intertwined, cats that come and go freely shuttle between the streets and buildings.

They are not confined by humans to live in a closed space and are completely free. You can go anywhere you want, and you can choose whatever food you want. Like humans, they each have their own personalities, even temperaments. Humans have no way to obtain this freedom, they must work like a chain, and they dare not express their emotions and characters casually. Perhaps this is in line with the needs of social progress and human survival, but it inhibits the instinct of human beings as animals. Seeing these free, carefree cats, perhaps some of the wishes of the people of this city have been fulfilled. Not being restricted by human beings is considered wandering. Every corner of the city is their home.

"We need their existence to prove that we are alive." It seems that communication between people is becoming more and more difficult, and the fast pace of life is becoming more and more stressful. Even though cats don't speak to us, when they rub against your feet and look at you by the window, they suddenly realize that you have not been ruthlessly abandoned and isolated, and that there is a life that needs you. They can identify who really likes. In the relationship with humans, it is not like a dog to please for food, but closer to a pure like and love. The sustenance of this kind of affection between people is turned to the cat, and the cat's understanding and needs are even more attractive. This seems to be a good thing, saving a lot of suffering people, not just people in this city. But it also shows that in this electronic information age, communication has become more convenient and fast, and the loss of human emotions is also fast.

The feelings between humans and cats are mutual, and they rely on each other to accompany each other. Everything is beautiful when you look at the world with loving eyes.

Such a city with many ancient buildings, relying on the sea, when the sea breeze blows, holding a cat in my arms, watching the seagulls play in the afterglow and the ships passing by, what kind of happiness is it?

The ordinary is the most healing.

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.
