People of BlueSky please meet and appreciate my dad's three legged and tail-truncated cat, surprisingly not named Tripod.

A few months ago my cat lept on me during a live TV interview. Sadly when the clip was posted online that part got edited out.

Surprising nobody, I have not yet exhausted my supply of cats. Again, these are all just photos from Istanbul. Mostly from Kadıköy (more kediköy lmao) and Cihangir.

I wasn't done posting photos of cats, I just took a break. I did not take a break from photographing cats, though, which is why I have so many photos of cats to post.

I might be a bit eccentric in the scale of my cat photography
September 3, 2025 at 11:29 PM
I have photographed many of those cats

There are a lot of cats in this city
September 3, 2025 at 11:24 PM
So many more
September 3, 2025 at 11:18 PM
Actually there are more
September 3, 2025 at 11:15 PM
Yet more
September 3, 2025 at 10:37 PM
And a few more

Well, I was in Istanbul recently and I photographed many cats. By popular demand, here are some of them.

Goodbye Istanbul, I hope to spend more time in you soon.

Bosphorus vibes. Too dark for catography now.

Bike helmet hair is no deterrence to an enthusiastic and well caffeinated start to week 2 of the semester!
