Stray Cat Sets Up Camp In Istanbul Cafe And Is Treated With The Utmost Respecc When Asked To Move Seats

The city of Istanbul, Turkey, has such a reputation for being the city of cats, that according to ABC News, people have nicknamed the city "Catstanbul". We love Turkey for how they treat cats as a country. In Turkey, you will find cat food dispensers all over, free treatment of strays, and an overall love of felines. The country as a whole has a special love for cats. We definitely want to go there someday.

And now that we've come across this delightful video that inspired an even more delightful Reddit thread, we want to travel there all the more! In this video, the original poster describes asking a waitress to move a cat who had been sitting in the seat he had wanted to offer to his friend to sit in. How does the waitress respond? She pulls the seat back, with the feline cutie still seated comfortably, and exchanges it with another free chair. And then the cherry on top of the whipped cream was that the waitress then pushed the chair with the seated feline underneath the table, so to keep him from the sun.
