Well this is way better than “drowning in pussy”
LOL
Tbf this sounds way better
I love how the cats didnt reach for food, but they reach for the person's affection.
But no matter if some see it, they'll still believe cats love people only for the food.
@@lulystalgianature2968 ...which is funny considering dogs literally are known to want to eat everything.
@@kayden232ou Exactly. Some people just don't want to point any flaws on dogs because they serve us and most are loyal to a fault. I like cats better because you actually have to earn their love... well, most of the time at least. Their love feels more like an accomplishment.
@@lulystalgianature2968 I think the real problem is that people compare pets to other people.
I think one big thing that is missing from the non-human animal brains is the real “sense of self”. Chimpanzees are so far the only ones who will, eventually, recognise themselves from a mirror (example).
@Dillon Howington my condolences for your loss
I love how audible the purring is
ME TOO..!!!

Cats are friendly to strangers like that and trust them probably because they are treated well by all people.

You can literally hear the happiness coming out of these cats.

@@HitlerLovesAnime Right at the end, for a fleeting moment you can hear one of them purring. I suppose it *could* be the wind, but I choose to believe it's purring.

i feel really bad for whoever is allergic to cats idk what i would do if i were 😫
Good way to die
At least you’d die happy am I right?
cats eat bugs too! mosquitos, flies etc
A cat that freely approaches you first, and thats not even just one cat! A whole new level of happiness when that happens. Hope to go there once!.

Cat Loafs on my lap and purrs
This reminds me of one time when I was little. My family and I were visiting Gibraltar. I had sat down on a curb while my parents asked for directions. Next thing I know, four or five stray cats have just started crawling all over me. It was the greatest day of my young life.
There are also monkeys. Very cute.
@@lennarthagen3638 monkeys and tourists are a cheeky combo tho
What a sweet story! I felt exactly like that! For adults, rather trivial encounters with cute animals can make a child so happy...you never forget such happy moments from childhood!
@@Thawhid I don't know about Gibraltar but I was robbed by monkeys in Thailand.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7lwell the monkeys in Gibraltar almost robbed my grandmothers handbag
That had all of our passports, money and car keys in
The one cat is really jealous crawling on your legs once seeing a cat on your legs😂😂
Oh such beautiful cats, I love cats, I grew up with them, they are absolutely great pets. They simply understand everything and feel and also notice when things go bad.
It’s like a therapy island.
You get to relief stress by letting cute animals 😍

No joke I would go here every day after work just to decompress and get greeted by fur babies. This place is perfect
*purrfect
It's not just this place. I was in Istanbul in Feb last year, and it was funny to see the metro stations full of cats. Some of them seem oblivious to the thousands of rush hour communters. In Sirkeci station the workers have built little houses for them, and you see commuters bring food for them every day. I have lived in other parts of Turkey where animals are not treated as well, but in Istanbul they really love cats.

I so want to go to a place like this - cats are awesome. 🤩
Is it normal those cats are so clean? They all look healthy and clean. It’s great!
In Istanbul they take care of “stray” cats really well. They’re more like communal pets lol
No, it isn't normal (for most of the world)
Istanbul is basically cat paradise
It should be. As long as cats can find clean water to drink, they will be hydrated enough to be able to properly clean themselves. If the stray cats around you are dirty, put out a cup of water outside your house :D
damn why is my coubtrys culture n istanbuls so dang similiar, but we ran out of luck on taking care of strays, the literal best part of similarities
@@WingsTM books flight to istanbul 👀😂
As a cat lover, the sound of cats purring makes me happy and calm. My kitty passed not too long ago but this makes me feel better. Rest in peace, Puss 🙏❤❤ and I love you so much.
Edit: thank u guys so much for the nice comments, I appreciate it 😄
RIP to your buddy. ❤
Sorry for your loss...
sorry to hear that❤
I know the feeling. My kitty's purr was loud enough to hear from the other side of the room. It's always sad when they leave us.
Sorry about the cat... 😢
This looks like a very nice peaceful park.
I know I would like being there..!
This is heaven
I’ve never seen such friendly cats!!
Then you've never been around many cats. Literally, every cat I've ever met is like that, except a few feral ones.
What happens when nobody treats them with cruelty. Uk, America don't value animal life at all.
Aoshima, Turkey, Malta and other places like this likely don't bang fireworks every single.event, don't have dickheads driving about the roads like cnts and no little yobs that will likely grow up Dahmeresque
@@equestrian.life. Exactly. And even the feral ones are only unsure and afraid of the intentions of the humans; they're not angry or mean. With time, patience and persistence, I've seen even the wildest of ferals to start coming around too. Of course they won't sit in your lap, but you see them trusting you more and more 😊
@@equestrian.life. I think it depends on where you live. Most cats I meet run away from humans rather than running towards them, they're always afraid.
Obviously you have never been to Turkey.

I want to live there i love Cats !!!!!🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱
They are like, public, communal pets more than stray, this is like cat heaven
As we can see, they are good for community. In our Europe, all stray cats are taken from streets? but there is a reason, but people could kill them, no culture to carry about cats and no defense.
If I would be a cat I'll be there
totally. turkish people care about all strays (some are scared about dogs but they are still well cared in most places too) especially cats and birds. i had a friend who was pissed off cause the stray cat he has been taking of was wandering in the whole neighbourhood being spoiled by other people. their "owners", they have none. each person fed and petted the cat gave him a different name. their caregivers are most of the community. not "owners".
@@discoboy8169 They're not wild animals and they kill thousand of native wildlife a year which they don't eat. These cats are not spayed or neutered and can have a litter when they are four months old. That's why we aim to take them off the streets as there are so many of them living very short and miserable lives.
These cats don't look like they are living miserable lives. It boils down to the type of people in your country and probably religion and culture have a lot to do with it too. Notable places for cat paradise are Japan's Cat Island and Istanbul in Turkey ❤
As much as I'd love this I'd immediately have a problem...I'd wanna take every single one home.
Why not make this place your home?
