This 2016 documentary, Kedi (Feline), is all about the cats of
Istanbul.
There are no characters in particular here. In a movie about
cats, there isn’t even a focus on any one cat. We meet quite a
number of cats–cats of all colors and types–wandering the
streets of the ancient city of Istanbul. We see some of the
people who care for them, including taking them to vets as
needed.
But mostly we follow the cats on some of their adventures, watch
them seeking out their favorite hangouts and hiding places,
going after food–and after one another at times.
We are scarcely made aware that this is a Muslim country and
that the people we see are probably all Muslims, but if we think
about it, we might be reminded that Mohammed himself was said to
have loved cats, even to the point of cutting off the sleeve of
his robe rather than disturb the cat who was resting on it.
While following the cats around town, the viewer will also have
splendid glimpses of the town itself–its narrow streets and
ornate structures, its bustle and its color.
The real stars of this documentary, of course, are the cats
themselves, leaping gracefully from trees to rooftops and
weaving their way among people’s legs in crowded bazaars while
nimbly dodging first one obstacle, then another.
This movie is a tribute to cats that is well worth watching.
