Watch trailer for documentary about seven stray cats in Istanbul streets

There is no doubt that we all spend hours watching cat videos on the Internet. But this documentary made by the Turkish director Ceyda Torun, is of a different level.

The Turkish director Ceyda Torun has chosen seven stray cats and followed their everyday lives through the city streets.

The official synopsis says:

“KEDi is not a documentary about house cats or the strays you occasionally see in your back yard. KEDi is a film about the hundreds of thousands of cats who have roamed the metropolis of Istanbul freely for thousands of years, wandering in and out of people’s lives, impacting them in ways only an animal who lives between the worlds of the wild and the tamed can. Cats and their kittens bring joy and purpose to those they choose, giving people an opportunity to reflect on life and their place in it. In Istanbul, cats are the mirrors to ourselves.”

The documentary opens in February, but we can already enjoy the trailer:
