😻😻😻 thank you very much istanbul tourist🤗🌹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Got no litter
I love that cats of istanbul. They are truly the Sultans and Sultanahs of the cat kingdom. I've enjoyed them as much as the culture of Türkiye.
Thank you for watching our channel and your comment encourages us🙏🥰
Not only İstanbul, the whole of Turkey is like this.
Turkiye
People who love animals and in particular cats have all my respect and love. Turkey is a great country❤🥹👏
I turchi sono persone speciali, devono avere una sensibilità e un gran cuore, lo dimostra il fatto che i gatti li abbiano scelti...❤
They were been that since Seljuk and ottoman not only animals that they were kind to but also human they have ruled justice world for 600 years
God bless the people of Istanbul!, God bless people who loves cats & dogs!❤❤❤
İnşallah. Büyük bir deprem bekliyor bizi.

@@nurcanyldz315Korkmayın o kadar. Senelerdir ısıtılıp ısıtılıp önümüze getirilen söz konusu fay boşlukta. Kumburgaz fayı enerji biriktiriyor, o da çok büyük ihtimâlle 100 seneden evvel kırılmayacak. Kırılsa da magnitüd 6-6.5 bandında olacak. Tabiî İstanbul'u mahvetmeye bu bile yeter ama önümüzdeki çok büyük ihtimâlle çok uzun bir süre var.
Allah sizleride korusun kalbi ve düşüncesi güzel insan
@@rindanefikirleriolan1flano664 şimdi korkup tedbir almazsan,100 yıl sonra senin torunların enkaz altında kalır. korkmak iyidir .
not just İstanbul, almost every city in Turkey have their own stray cats.
En cok Istanbul´da var.
I love these comments. I agree gods spirit is everywhere there. I would love to live in a country like turkey. You people are blessed.
A city filled with cats is quite possibly the closest thing to true paradise on this Earth 😊
Cats are mystical creatures. They take the bad energy from people and transmit it to the soil. 😍
It is. Unfortunately extremely cruel psychopaths started to poison cats, encouraged by the new law issued agaist stray animals in Turkey. This is the biggest crime committed against this land and its culture.
That law is only for dangerous dogs not for the cats. If you don't have enough knowledge about something don't even say one word about it. @@handebarlas6248
Not only in Istanbul its same all around türkiye 😊
Look after there animals bullshit
It's a great culture. I have been to Turkey many times. The number of animals that are afraid of humans is very small. So everyone is behaving well. This is an incredible level.
Yes here in Turkey poeple really love animals.
Bizlere dinimizin emri hayvanlar allahın bizlere emaneti oldugunu ve onlara iyi davranmamızı emreder ve hayvanlara kötü davranmanın sonucu Allah bizleri hesaba çekip cezalandıracıgı bildirir
@@samsunlu30 Bunun sadece dinle alakası yok Türk kültürü de kökünden beri merhametli ve asildir.
Sigmifica civiltà... dovrebbe prendere esempio tutto il mondo. Grandi Turchi ❤
Sadece yönetim istemiyor halkın çoğu sever
😎😎😎 Istanbul Cats😍😍😍💃💃💃😻😻😻
😍😍
E sono anche belli, ben curati... non sapevo che i Turchi fossero così superiori
They look like they are house pets, all in robust health and well groomed. The city seems to take very good care of them.
Taking care of animals are tradition in Turkic culture since ancient times and also in Islam.
@@Regalya If only Muslims followed this aspect of Islam universally. I live in a Muslim majority country and the Muslims in my country are vicious toward animals.
@@Regalyaİslamla türklükle ilgisi yok. Vicdan, merhamet ve kültürle alakalı. Kendim türk ve seküler müslümanım.
Esnaflar, diğer sivil insanlar onlara iyi bakar yemek verirler
Bu sadece belediyenin değil tüm halkın ilgisi ve şefkatiyle alakalı. Biz Türk halkı olarak sokak hayvanlarına yiyecek, su ve barınak temin etmeye çalışıyoruz. Zaten dükkanlar dahil her yer onların yuvası. Çok nazik olmaya çalışıyoruz 😊
So cute 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for watching our channel and your comment encourages us🙏🥰
Istanbul looks so peaceful like a beautiful hippie alternative place to be❤💛💚💙
God sprit lives there with the animals bless y'all forever for helping and saving and loving these beautiful souls
🐾❤🐾
Ben İstanbul'da yaşıyorum yaklaşık iki milyon kedi ve köpek var genelinin sağlık durumu iyi benim evimdede yedi kedi var onları seviyorum gelirimin yarısını kedi ve köpeklere harcıyorum ve mutluyum bu dünya sadece bize ait diil unutmayin
Sana helal olsun bendede iki tane var.
What a beautiful city!!! 😊
Bendede 13 kedi var bütün apartman benden şikayetçi hakkımda 4 adet mahkeme kararı var evde mahallede kedi baktığım için 😻
so true
Hellal olsun sana ✌️❣️👍
Magnifica ed accogliente Turchia !❤
I understand that Istanbul is rich with history but I so want to go there for the cats😂
Taking care of animals are tradition in Turkic culture since ancient times and also in Islam
Happy to see people there so kindly with stray cat..no wonder many cats there look in good condition...hopefully people in my country will do the same as people in Turkey
Vorrei vivere in Turchia allora❤️ amo i gatti da sempre sono la mia vita ma qui da noi purtroppo non li rispettano cosi, grazie a voi siete bellissime persone che si prendono cura degli animali e chi si prende cura di loro con amorevolezza si deve solo benedire🙏❤️😊 grazie dal mio cuore alla bella gente della Turchia❤️
Gel burda gör
So adorable😻😻😻 well-mannered furballs, very Cute and Lovely
Thank you very much!
In Turkey, living with cats is a way of life. Street cats can be found in every corner of our country, from Istanbul to the southeast. This reflects our nation's deep-rooted love for animals.
It is exactly like that,Thanks for visiting 🥰🙏
I m from turkey. In turkey we have a quote;
If you re renting or buying home from a neighborhood, look stray animals in the neighborhood, if they were well treated move there :)
It is a very correct sentence👏Thank you for watching our channel and your comment encourages us🙏🥰
❤❤Fantastisk ❤
I also always say in Istanbul only trust people who love cats, thankfully, that‘s most of the city;) 😊
Sooo true!
I found that Nisantasi and Kadikoy people treat the cats very well.
May Allah bless you all and keep you safe for all your kindness. Thank you for a very lovely video.
Thank you! 🥰
I love cats very much world best cat country caring of cat great Istanbul people God give lots of money Istanbul people because giving food for cat daily thank you Istanbul people
👍❤️
🐾❤️🐾
Turkey should lead the world and how it is to lead at Not only being a compassionate country, but being a great country for the world to see.
Turkish people love cats
❤🐾❤️
Así debería de ser en todo el mundo.
❤
Those who do not notice the charm of cats breathe in the gray dimension of life))
Turkey and Japan are the countries where the most cats live in the world. Love cat. ❤🙏🫀
In the United States we have a very strong love for cats and dogs!! Many families have cats or dogs or both in their home. I know Istanbul is the city of cats but the USA is also.
they are talking about street babies sister @@catlady3360

That’s right
I love the Turkish people. They are so ahead of everybody when it comes to loving cats. I know that they are special. Thank you
thanks for watching 🙏🥰
CATSTANBUL !!!!
As a cat lover ( l have two at home ), thank you . Good job !!! Great video!!! Greetings from the Pacific Northwest, USA 🇺🇸 !!!! 🐈 😻 🐈 😻
Thanks for watching!
Kinda wish the US streets and parks weren't so devoid of life and animals. First thing I notice when I go to NYC is the lack of cats
@choonblaze l know I lived 6 years in NYC. We live now in Mercer Island. WA . We have two cats, and they are 100 % indoors . For many reasons. They live longer. They are safer from accidents and illnesses . There are many dangers outside ...cars ,people and many more .
Indoors, they live a happier life .
@@alejandrovolpe2643 yes it's a wild wild west for these stray cats. There is a park I go to, went again today. I saw three tiny kittens yesterday, today there were only two and they got seperated from their mother. Cats in the park are safe from cars, dogs etc. but other stray cats are dangerous for the kittens too. I had to chase away an adult cat stalking the kittens.
In Europe and America, cats and dogs are kept in special houses or places, so they don't get hurt on the street.
Cars are fav pets of the Virginia Mary I a.m a Filipina 70yrs old
I'm in Istanbul right now! Merhaba for all cats!
È bello vedere la libertà e la serenità di movimento di queste splendide creature in giro per la città, nei locali, per le strade hanno cibo, cuccette calde, coccole e carezze...una marcia in più è straordinario mi riempie il cuore di gioia 💕💕😺😊❤️
Vielen Dank an die Menschen in Istanbul die sich liebevoll um die Katzen und Hunde kümmern.
Gott segne euch alle.❤️😻😺🐕🏞️🇨🇭
Hallo aus der Türkei
Das parlament in der Türkei hat sich entschieden das alle straßen
Hunde von den städten von den Bürgermeisterschaften abgeholt und in pflege gebiete betreut
Werden sollen.Das bedeutet das mann nicht mehr straßen hunde da oder dort sehen kann.
Aber für die straßen katzen ist nichts los.Die können wieder auf denn staßen steicheln und befüttern...
@@vehbikoc7393 Könnt Ihr euch nicht wehren? Den Hunden geht es doch gut.
Andere müssten abgeholt und zurück geschickt werden. Die armen Flüchtlinge
Kommen nicht bei uns an.
Viele liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz Erika.♥️🙏🌺🏞️🇨🇭
Machen Sie sich bitte keine Sorgen. Die Hunde werden alle kastriert, gepflegt und jede gute Familie wird vermittelt. Die anderen, die nicht vermittelt werden können, werden auf einem großen Hektar Grundstück in mehreren Plätzen mit Hundehäusern und Futter ausgestattet betreut.
Liebe Grüße aus Istanbul❤
@@nurdantaner233 Sehr gut erklärt 😊
The aspect of Istanbul I love most is the wonderful human-cat interaction ❤ and the reason I keep coming. I never leave home without cat food in my bag!
👍❤️
Thanks for this special video
Strays are special animals. They among us hold a mirror to our humanity, reflecting our capacity for empathy, kindness, and compassion. For seven years, we've witnessed firsthand the unique spirit of stray animals, and we're humbled by their capacity to thrive amidst adversity - a testament to the transformative power of love and care. By embracing their presence, we confront our own vulnerabilities and limitations, emerging stronger, wiser, and more whole.
Merciiiiiii ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for watching our channel and your comment encourages us🙏🥰
Szebbnél szebb , szépséges cicák , a szivem fáj értük , különösen egy cica olyan gyönyörű , ahogy űl agy tuskó fán , elvinném haza azonnal , Az Istanbuli macskák egytől egyig gyönyörűek . Isten vigyázzon rájuk .❣
O kediler özgurluğe alisik evde durmaz kaçarlar
Beautiful city. Animal loving people. Cats look healthy and well treated. I wish I could visit Istanbul. Thank you.

İstanbul'un sahipleri :)
Men istanbulda 2 yil inshootlarda ishladim.Aslida Istanbulga ishchi bulib emas it yoki mushuk bulib kelish kerak ekan deb uylardim usha vaqtlar.Chunki bu yir hayvonlar uchun jannat.Nafaqat Istanbul balki butun Turkiyada shunday.Buning uchun Turk xalqiga qoyil qolmamaslikni iloji yuq.
Saol türk kardeşim❤
Qué grande son las gente de Estambul ❤❤❤❤❤

Queste sono persone di valore... non come quelli che abbiamo qui che usano i gatti per sfogarsi sul più debole e fargli i dispetti....
You are very good people and you love the animals
I love cats. I don't like to see them go hungry and are homeless. I have adopted over 20 cats, I am now down to 10. All are neutered and spayed. I feed them twice a day. They are all loved.
You are a very kind hearted person 😻🥰
Very well behaved ... them kitties ..
Meow Meow 😻

My neighbour's cat has seen me almost every day for the last 10 years and still runs away when I try to pet him. These Turkish cats are unrealisticly friendly.
