Furever Friends

 One interesting thing about Istanbul, and some other Turkish cities is that there's dogs and cats that are "pets" of the city.  They are vaccinated and tagged and let go in the city.  Many of them are quite popular.  and are well beloved and taken care of.  People generally don't shoe them away, for example, you will see a cat up on a display of an expensive clothing store!  Now, in a food establishment, of course they are sent away (but sometimes fed nearby).  You will see them everywhere, even in Mosques and Museums.  No one bother's them and lots of people love and pet them.
