Hundreds of thousands of cats roam the metropolis of Istanbul freely. For thousands of years they've wandered in and out of people's live, becoming an essential part of the communities that make the city so rich.

In Istanbul, cats are the mirrors to the people, allowing them to reflect on their lives in ways nothing else could.
