If you are a resident of Istanbul, you will most likely answer "evet bir kedim var." "Yes, I have a cat." The cats of Istanbul may take issue with this because we all know that you never really own a cat; they own you. Regardless of ownership, Istanbul offers magical moments as you lose yourself in its winding streets, with cats at every turn. You may find a kedi curled up on someone's lap in a sidewalk cafe, sleeping on fabric at the Grand Bazaar, or perched on magazines and books at a newsstand.
