Street Cats

Tails Up for Kedi!!

By

This film is a must see for all cat lovers. Although I was lucky to see it back in March, this film unfortunately had a very limited cinema release in the UK. But finally you can watch it on DVD and itunes.  Kedi is about the street cats of Istanbul who have walked the streets there for thousands of years. You are introduced to many cats, with both  wonderful stories and  charming characters.  Both heartwarming and heartbreaking with music and cinematography that is just beautiful. Turkey has never been a place I have thought of visiting but well now…………?

Enjoy! xx

Available from the usual online retailers.

The Unseen

By

Being a big cat lover I often worry about the feral and stray cats I may encounter while away on holiday. I worry about them before I’ve even met them! I know there are feral and stray cats in the UK but often due to the lack of neutering, education and funds, places abroad can be so much worse for the unowned felines. Being a cat sitter I often ask people where they went on holiday and were there many stray and feral cats. Many people tell me they never saw any, but I expect the cats were there, maybe only venturing out at night or dusk…… the Unseen of the feline world.

So when I heard that International Cat Care was having a photographic competition about Street Cats I was excited. The winners of the competition will go into a calendar to raise money for the charity. International Cat Care does an amazing job supporting communities with trap, neuter, return programs in many countries. Most of these street cats want to live on the streets and can never live with humans, but with TNR these cats can be neutered so they live a healthier and happier life without the stress of reproduction. If you would like to pre-order one of the calendars here is the link. https://icatcare.org/shop/icatcare-merchandise/icatcare-calendar-2018-pre-order

So lovely that the “Unseen” can be seen in this wonderful calendar and money can be raised to help many street cats in the future. x

Homer’s Odyssey by Gwen Cooper
Homer’s Odyssey is an unbelievable story about a blind kitten who was almost put to sleep until a lady adopted him and gave him a lovely life, I was hooked on this book especially when his home was threatened on 9/11 in New York.

A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen

My all time favourite cat book! Bob the street cat! The amazing story of a stray ginger cat and a homeless man both living on the streets of London and how they saved each other. Soon to be released as a film!  I have tried not to give too much away as these books are all fantastic true stories and make purrfect pressies.
