Wonderful movie for cat lovers: "Kedi"

This is a delightful documentary about the street cats of Istanbul, which are sort of half-pets that are fed and looked after but run loose and do their own things. It's also about the people who care for them - apparently there are a lot of kind, slightly eccentric cat-ladies and cat-men in Istanbul who love them and feed them and run a tab at the vet's. It's in Turkish with subtitles ("Kedi" is pronouned "cheddy" and just means "cat&quot , and there is some great photography - drone overhead views of the city and cat's-eye views of the streets. There are a lot of open-air fish markets, which of course is kitty heaven. Istanbul looks like an interesting place.
