Kedi

Crit

If you've never gotten the appeal of cats, this documentary about the millennia-long relationship between strays and the populace of the Turkish metropolis won't change your mind, but İstanbullular seem united in their belief that, even apart from their service in controlling the rodent population, cats bring good fortune and emotional healing.

Moreover--and here's where even dog people and members of Congress can take something from the film--the cat admirers and caretakers interviewed recognize that a sure way to do good to yourself is to do good to those weaker and more vulnerable than yourself.
