Meet the Taksim Metro Station Cat – a cool calico kitty without a formal name, but renowned for making the Taksim Metro her cozy abode for over three years.
This vibrant feline has claimed the station and escalators as her turf, often perching at the top of the escalator like a true local.
And guess what? She’s not just a stationary cat; she’s a traveler too! This adventurous kitty loves hitching a ride on the moving walkway whenever she feels like adding a bit of excitement to her day.
What’s even more entertaining is her fondness for posing when commuters want to snap a photo. She’s a natural in front of the camera and knows how to strike a charming pose.
But don’t worry about her well-being; this kitty doesn’t go hungry. There’s always a kind soul around to attend to her needs. Plus, she has a plethora of comfy spots to curl up for a nap – even if it means briefly blocking the path of busy commuters.
Istanbul, with its abundance of street cats, takes pride in caring for these furry residents. While they’re not conventional pets, they’re far from feral. The community ensures they’re well looked after, even taking them to the vet when necessary.
In a city where cats are an integral part of the landscape, the Taksim Metro Station Cat has become a beloved local celebrity.
Kudos to the people of Istanbul for embracing and caring for their feline friends!
