We've come to the last of the Istanbul posts. I had read that cats roam freely around Istanbul, and it's the truth. They are everywhere, and seem to be fed by locals as well as tourists who leave food and water where cats can find it. Most of them appear healthy and well-fed, although I believe most of them are homeless in the sense that no one properly owns them.
