Clearly, the cats run this town

Cats are everywhere in Istanbul and everyone, it seems, has a favorite stray that they feed. The cats also engage in commerce, like this very special Van cat with one green eye and one blue eye at a fabric store in the Grand Bazaar. Annoyed by the attention she was receiving, this cat leapt onto her perch and glared at her crowd of admirers. Her owner stroked her cheek and she promptly snapped at him. What attitude!

I met another cat at the Aya Sophia who was guarding a "No Entry" portion of the museum.

I imagine that if you tried to enter, she would bite your ankles!

  2. I totally agree with Amy! Although I bet Kusa could take any of those sassy cats any day!
