Hi Frugalistas! I’m finally ready to kick off my series of posts on Istanbul. Because it’s Friday, and that means Friday fotos, I’m kicking off the series with some of the pretty little pusses I met in Istanbul. If you travel to Istanbul, one of things you can’t help but notice is the number of cats around. They tend to hang around shops, restaurants and anywhere where there are large numbers of people. Shopkeepers encourage them with food – so they must be good for business!

This little chap, about to get on his bike, reminded me of one of our little ones at home Hanging out in Galata on a Sunday morning Keep your distance! Everyone enjoys brunch in Beyoglu on a Sunday! Hanging out in the cafe scene at Hagia Sophia Afternoon siesta Mum and a young one out enjoying the shopping in Sultanahmet Selling kilims in Sultanahmet is hard work Patiently waiting for a restaurant to open This little fellow was definitely a People Pussy Another friendly local Sunning themselves on a Galata Sunday morning

Where in your travels have you spotted large numbers of cats?
