But I cant do as I please.

I grabbed her tail, she bit my hand.

But she does as she wishes.

Thats very important to me.

That she never compromises her freedom.

She has a fighting spirit.

Thats what I like.

She has qualities that people should have.

Their posture feels very feminine to me.

I dont see that elegance in women anymore.

Weve lost that,

but cats carry themselves so well.

Especially in this country,

in a city like this...

its very difficult

to be a woman, to be female.

To express your femininity,

to be defiant with your femininity.

Being female

and if youre a "pretty little thing"

you feel like you have

to account for all of it.

When youre alone for long periods

your animal instincts get sharper.

I really believe that.

Maybe its a quality that

should be developed more in all of us.

As if its better to be so human, so modern.

Theres a power you can feel

within yourself, of a wild creature.

I think everyone needs

to discover that in themselves.

Cats are satisfied with their existence.

And theyre very sure of their character.

But its not enough for us.

We always want more.

That mentality poisons us

and destroys everything.

And maybe in the near

future, in two or three years

we may no longer see cats on these streets.

They all have personalities, like people.

If you look closely, were the same.

Some want affection,

others will tell you all their troubles.

Some are discreet,

wont talk about anything.

Others are ambitious.

And some are pompous...

like a lady

who cant be bothered to say hello.

Cats are exactly the same.

Some wont even look when I call to them.

I believe they share

the same traits as people.

Deniz!

Deniz!

He was a tiny little thing.

He looked down at me from up there.

We wondered

where this beat-up little guy came from.

I brought him down from the roof.

Who knows where he came from.

Being a young male,

he attacked us at first.

A couple of months later,

he started approaching us for food.

Once we could stroke him, he was tamed.

Now hes become a very friendly cat.

It all changed over the last

five years, when these buildings went up.

It used to be all green here.

There were orchards,

and gardens where theyd grow crops.

When these buildings went up,

it all disappeared no nature left.

Oh dear.

Look at them, seven plump kittens!

These kittens...

itll be a shame if they tear this place down.

I dont know what well do.

This will be a major road.

They want to connect these buildings.

Were more worried

about whatll happen to the cats

than what might happen to us.

If this area gets demolished,

and that's likely, they won't have anyone.

At some point, they miss the streets.
