Istanbul mosque opens doors to stray cats trying to keep warm in the winter

  • 8 years ago
ISTANBUL — Imam Mustafa Efe is a purrrfect example of how to love all creatures. Efe has opened the doors of the Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi Mosque in Istanbul to the stray cats of the city, who are darn cold this time of year. The felines are even welcome during prayer time.

Istanbullians are known for their love of cats which were bred to eradicate rats and mice from the city. They even have a saying which goes, "If you've killed a cat, you need to build a mosque to be forgiven by God."

Well, I think most people would agree that opening the doors of a mosque is a lot easier than building a new one. Pussy lovers from around the globe have praised Imam Mustafa Efe's efforts which have meow gone viral.

Donald Trump has yet to release a statement on whether he'd ban the cats from entering the United States.
