Cat Compound in Cihangir

In Cihangir. A cat compound built by the human neighbors is home to a young mother cat with Audrey Hepburn-like elegance, her three kittens, and her streetwise companions. Two visitors are drawn into their world, and as the days unfold, the everyday encounters become something much more. But nothing stays the same. When the mother cat and her friends suddenly vanish, the twist reveals the city’s TNR network and a hidden layer of life in the place. A Cat Compound in Cihangir is a tale of cats, people, and the ways we come to belong. Vivid illustrations and a nostalgic color palette immerse readers in the sounds, sights, and rhythms of this much-lived-in and beloved old Istanbul neighborhood.
