“Made me cry.”

Moving documentary on cats and human relationship in Istanbul.

Just watched KEDi on Youtube Red [1]. Made me cry. I love my cats so much but they live the best lives when they have the freedom. And I don't know how to deal with them getting sick or dying. With kids, you usually hope you are the first to go. But with pets that have shorter lives, how to cope? There is a lot of wisdom in the movie with regard to the special relationship and insight cats give us to life itself. I have such a deep respect for Turkey now, I even have new respect for Islam. Allahu akbar. May peace be with you my friend. [1] this video

They're not feral cats, they're stray cats. I found them pretty cute when I watched the video. (Recommend it for those who haven't seen it: this video )
