Kedi (Turkish for cat) is a documentary style movie following the lives of some of the many thousands of stray cats roaming the streets of Istanbul. The film concentrates on seven of these cats and their interactions with the humans in their lives. Some of the cats are almost completely wild whilst others allow a much closer relationship with the people around them. The cat’s eye level of the film is interspersed with interviews with the humans that have come to love and care for each of the cats reflecting on the personalities and foibles of each cat! This is a fascinating film – it not only gives an amazing window into the lives of cats but also allows a glimpse of the city of Istanbul and its culture. My cat loved it too!
