1. He’s very kind-hearted. Anyone who has ever fed a truly hungry cat knows the “cool cat” is not an accurate description. Cats are very excitable.

   2. Kind of looked like it. There are some large bodies of water visible, possibly the Bosporous or the Sea of Mamara. Istanbul is fairly far north, about the same latitude as Denver, IIRC.

   5. I truly never imagined that Turkey would be so kind and caring for their street cats. They put us to shame.

3. I’m a bit torn. As a crazy cat lady, myself, caring for a colony, I’m always happy to see strays being cared for. I’ve seen this in other Islamic areas. My problem is, while they will care for the cats, they will also beat, torture and kill dogs, stray or not. The two realities just don’t work together.
