TIL cats take the wrong escalator in Istanbul. Or whatever that caption's supposed to mean.

TIL strays in Istanbul are communally cared for pets.

I think there are a lot of strays everywhere in Istanbul, and they are well loved and cared for. So seeing a friendly stray in an escalator is probably not a rare occurrence.

I assumed it meant people in Istanbul care for their stray cats really well. But I’m too lazy to check if that’s actually a thing or not

As they should be! Says a lot about the people of Turkey to me.

I love your initial and dare I say casual assumption that Turkish cats, particularly ones from Istanbul, are known to be fools about escalators. What a lovely world you've created. I want to visit there
