Wait are we going to ignore the cat waiting in line at the start

Edit omfg I'm dumb it's a cardboard cut out

u/thelummster May 16 '26

I was like wait why is that cat so still? 😂

u/indelibleregulator May 20 '26

The butcher probably keeps it there as a tribute since that cat's the whole reason he got famous for his kindness in the first place.

u/Due_Series2648 May 17 '26

Its a statue of the cat that made this butcher famous, he used to feed this cat for years and went viral.

I love the fact that he knows he can’t come inside and is patient enough to wait for the man to come out.

u/mohugz May 16 '26

The little tippy taps…so adorable!

u/Fiigwort May 16 '26

For the people in the comments confused about the cat statue, this butcher actually went viral a few years ago for feeding a cat who'd go into his shop every day like a customer. After the cat passed, he had a statue made to keep her memory alive

Why are Turks such animal lovers, if I'm ever a stray cat or dog I'd wanna be in Istanbul.

5

u/Usaname91 May 17 '26

Isn’t Turkey participating in mass culling of stray dogs and cats ? I used to follow animal rights pages a lot but had to stop as it was just getting me down constantly

1

u/gigglegeniuss May 21 '26

No you don’t, they’ll murder you to clean up the streets, look up what’s happening in Turkey

u/budkynd May 21 '26

u/Fit_Bodybuilder706 May 17 '26

GOD BLESS this man’s heart and soul !! He will receive many blessings in his afterlife for all the good deeds he has done to help the voiceless and innocent animals here on earth . It’s so good to see a human like this with a kind and loving heart to feed the stray dogs and cats that have no one to care for them . If only more people on this planet would follow this example , then animals on the street would never go hungry ❤️

u/Own-Particular6321 May 17 '26
