Hong Kong Musician Kin Ryan Captured a Heartwarming Moment When a Stray Cat Claimed His Lap in a Turkish Cafe
As you may know, Turkey has now earned a reputation as a country of cats. Istanbul, in particular, has garnered a global reputation as the 'City of Cats'. Videos tagged with 'Turkish Cats' on social media are racking up millions of views. This phenomenon has now become a part of the cultural identity.
Kin Ryan, a musician from Hong Kong, had a surprising encounter while sitting in a café in Turkey. A cat, without a second thought, hopped onto his lap. Taken aback by the warm gesture of the cat, the musician shared the experience on his social media account.

"This could only happen to you in Istanbul."
In Western countries, spotting a stray cat on the street is often perceived as seeing an animal in need, whereas in our culture, a cat is seen as a natural inhabitant of the neighborhood, akin to a neighbor. The food bowls shopkeepers place in front of their stores, the cat houses provided by municipalities, and the doors opened during cold weather, all represent a unique example of collective care that is rarely seen anywhere else in the world. The role of cats in protecting libraries and wooden houses from pests has brought along a culture of respect that has been passed down since the Ottoman times. Consequently, our cats are not afraid of humans. As seen in the video, they can comfortably throw themselves into a person's lap.
