Meow. There are cats in stores. There are cats on the street. This city welcomes them. The kitties get rid of mice and rats. People play with the cats. Folks give them shelter and food.

Everybody wins!

Pray: Pray more people in Turkey will come to know the true God. He made every person and creature!

Istanbul, Turkey, has many cats. Thousands of them roam the streets. They lounge outside bookstores and coffee shops. They sit on fishing docks. They wait for treats from fishermen! The Hagia Sophia is a very old building in Turkey. It was once a Christian church. Now Muslims gather there. They worship a pretend god. A cat named Gli lived in the mosque for 16 years. People in Turkey like that cats keep rodents away. Folks think of the creatures as community pets.
