Episode synopsis
Our first episode focuses on cats in Istanbul, Turkey. Cats are considered sacred animals in Turkey, so every stray cat on the streets has a name. The whole city seems to be home to cats, including "Saffron," the plump spice shop clerk, "Orcan," who competes for love on the rooftop of a tourist attraction, and even cats living in the World Heritage site, Hagia Sophia. World-renowned animal photographer Iwago Mitsuaki gets up close and personal with the cats who live there and are cherished by people.
