"A female director from Turkey made a cat film. This director, Jedda Torun, grew up in Turkey. According to her, she had 21 cats when she was growing up. Have you seen them?”
Lin Yanqing said to Wu Xuanyi and Meng Siqi as he fed the little orange cat named "Duanwu" with a sausage. When the two heard that the little girl was going to come down to feed the cat, they also followed eagerly. However, the little orange cat was obviously closer to their "cat master, Lin". When it saw the two of them approaching, it quickly hid in the grass. Lin Yanqing called out "Duanwu Duanwu" for a long time before coming out again.
"I've seen it before. It should be called 'City of Cat Loves'. I remember Doris Lessing, a Nobel Prize winner in literature, also loved cats very much. She grew up with many cats, and she even wrote a work called' Special Cat'.”
Wu Xuanyi took the remaining half of the ham sausage from Lin Yanqing's hands. She crushed it with her hands and carefully placed it in front of Duanwu. Little Duanwu must have sensed her kindness and did not run away. Wu Xuanyi's good upbringing had given her a wide range of knowledge, so she naturally had some knowledge in this area.
" I think what these two have in common is that, unlike the traditional record of " interesting things between humans and cats ", they both start from the cats themselves and write about the state of cats in different living environments, as well as the relationship between cats. I think this is the most natural cat,"
As Lin Yanqing spoke, he looked at the way " Duanwu " was wolfing down the food. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her back. He could even touch her spine. She was so thin that he couldn't tell what a " big orange " should look like.
" Writers may not be able to create real people. Writers can only create their true selves. So I believe that in their hearts, there will be a 'city of cat lovers' and a 'special cat'. They truly understand cats, just like they understand themselves."
This cat film was a documentary about cats living in the city. The title was Kedi, which literally meant " cat." When it was released in China, it was translated as " City of Cat Loves." It was very straightforward and told how the people in the city of Turkey loved these cats from a human perspective.
In fact, the most touching part of the film was how these cats survived in human cities. Their intelligence was often admirable.
In Kedi, every cat had its own name. Just like all movies, this documentary also had a cast and crew list, and all the names of these cats were on the list, sitting with the director and other producers.
Bengu, Denitz, Doman, Worriless, and Little Lion were all playing their own roles.
The director, like the rest of the people in Florence, really respected the cats.
There was an uncle in the film who had been taking care of the cats at the dock for more than ten years. He said,
" People get close to God in various ways. For me, the connection between me and God might be a cat.”
More than ten years ago, when he was destitute, he broke out of his cocoon and was reborn because of a cat's " guidance." It sounded like a mystical story, but the uncle was very sure of it. Perhaps it was also because he was very respectful of cats from the bottom of his heart.
The people of the city were willing to be poop-shoveling officers. The cats in Constantine were living a good life.
As for why Turkey became a city of cats, the film used the mouth of an artist to tell us in front of the screen why Turkey had such a large number of cats.
There was a lady in the film. Her psychiatrist told her that she could comfort her soul by raising some cats and taking care of them. She did so. She raised more than ten cats at home and cooked more than ten kilograms of chicken every day to feed them. In addition, she would feed the stray cats outside every day.
She felt that although she had cats, her worries had not been alleviated. However, she took care of these cats day after day. Wasn't it also saving herself and throwing herself into the tedious but lively life?
Cats and humans were "redeeming" each other in this city.
Now, in Turkey, in addition to the cats raised in human homes, there were also many cats wandering on the streets. These cats were different from stray cats. They could not even be called " stray " in the true sense. They did not have to worry about food and drink, and they were doted on by passers-by and shop owners.
You could see that these cats had taken care of themselves beautifully. Some of them were not even light anymore and had accumulated some fat. They were like idealists who had obtained "freedom" and "bread".
These cats were called " street cats ".
The so-called " street cats " had a fixed territory, a fixed cat group, and a fixed human partner.
You could think of it as putting domestic cats on the streets and raising them by the surrounding residents or businesses, as well as passers-by. These cats would have more freedom than domestic cats, but because of the expansion of their living area, they had to face higher risks most of the time.
For example, in the movie, a kitten that was less than two months old was attacked by a big cat and fell from a high place on its last breath. There were also many cats that died in car accidents.
If there were relevant statistics, the average lifespan of street cats would definitely be lower than that of domestic cats. Perhaps this was the price of " freedom "? Then I believe that in this city, the price of a cat's "freedom" is the smallest.
Moreover, compared to the domestic cats that were locked up at home and bored to death, they were street cats that became the soul of a city.
Cats in Constantine traveled through the living space of humans. At the scenic spots, they accepted the caresses of tourists calmly. In the commercial street, they were popular among the shop owners. At the docks, they could be fed by fishermen, but sometimes they had to compete with waterbirds for food.
Their actions were not just for survival. These cats leisurely paced the streets and had normal social interactions with other cat companions. Cats mated, competed with each other, and fought for territory. They lived leisurely in the city and were part of the soul of the city.
Some people expressed their concern: With the acceleration of the process of urban development, what would happen to cats in the future of the city of Florence?
The BBC documentary, Earth Pulse, had also raised this topic.
According to the living environment, apart from islands, mountains, rainforests, and other environments, there were also " cities."
Some animals in the city had become a part of the city life, but the relationship between cats and humans and the city was different from other animals.
Had they been domesticated like livestock? Most people thought that the cats wandering on the streets of the city were domesticated cats.
However, the magical thing about cats was that although they had functions, such as catching mice, you couldn't command a cat to catch mice like you could command other animals. Whether a cat wanted to catch mice or not depended on its nature or its current mood.
Cats and the people in our city are more likely to be soul encounters. Cats and the city coexist, giving the city a unique temperament. Cats lived with humans and never bowed.
Perhaps it was just like what the movie said: Cats are divine animals. You can get close to God by getting close to cats. They are the bridge between you and God.

Actually, this article has nothing to do with the past. I wrote this article mainly because of the recent "cat abuse" incident on the Internet. I can't understand his thoughts, so I don't want to criticize him based on my own values, so I won't comment.
However, perhaps it was just like what an uncle in the picture said,""People who don't know how to love animals don't know how to love people."
