Your daily cat and kitten news

[Orang Utan]

The cat film was called Kedi, BTW


I’ve now read more and it looks like it’s bad news for dogs, if not cats, as Erdogan
Is trying to cull them and he may very well succeed

I think I’ve seen the cat one. There’s a great dog one too called Stray.
IIRC there is some ancient medieval law in Istanbul that forbids culling stray cats and dogs

A dog film called Stray? That's confusing as there's a cat game called that too. I would recommend the game. You are literally a cat doing parkour. A dream come true!

Yes! I’ve played that on my PS4! Loved it though it got too difficult to early on and i gave up

This is the film:

Stray review – exquisite dog's eye view of Istanbul | Film | The Guardian

Elizabeth Lo’s film about the street dogs of the Turkish metropolis is the perfect companion piece to Kedi, a 2016 work about its cats

(Sorry to any cat lovers who have been offended by stray dog content)

I don't dislike dogs but I just don't get them. Because I've never had one. A friend had a lovely big German Shepherd and I went up and started stroking its head. It growled so I said oooh nice doggie and left it alone lol.

Hopefully not even Erdogan would be so stupid as to cull cats in a country that loves cats so much:

I really want to go to Istanbul to make a pilgrimage to Tombili

In Memory of Tombili, The Real-Life 'Chill Cat'

Istanbul installed a meow-velous tribute to the famous feline.

Tabby likes head scritches and Sammy prefers belly massage. So I now have a practical application for the skill of tapping your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time :-D

Cat owners, if a cat has decided to adopt your house and mews outside the door until he or she is let in, is there any way of persuading them to stick with their actual owners? Do they take any notice of cease and desist letters?

Sounds reasonable. Unfortunately, Spud had other ideas, but he has allowed me to get up, now.

Resistance is futile. You may as well give in now!

It’s a particularly horrible and thuggish-looking cat. There was a nice fluffy one which ventured inside a couple of times, and I think that the evil intruder wants to claim our house from it as territory.

That's how Spud came into the fold. He used to sit outside on the windowsill, looking in at the other cats eating, and looking really sad. It took almost a year to get to stroke him.

Maybe I shouldn’t be asking cat people about this. I need the thread for mouse fanciers and songbird breeders.
