Two images of the famous "Tombili" cat in Istanbul, Turkey. The top photo shows the real Tombili, a chubby stray cat lounging on a street curb with a relaxed pose, leaning back and watching the world go by. The bottom photo captures a bronze statue created to honor Tombili in the same pose, placed on the same spot after the cat's passing. The surrounding area includes parked cars, a kebab shop sign, cobblestone pavement, and trees lining the street. This tribute reflects Istanbul's deep affection for its street cats, who are cherished by the community.
