They\u2019re everywhere, from the Blue Mosque, to the palaces, from small stores to the greatest cafes in the city, there\u2019s not a street without cats, and they seem to have the statute of Sultans. The why is one of the imposing questions, and the answer is based in two legends related to the Islamic Religion. According to one of them, the Prophet Muhammad was saved by a cat that defended him from a venomous snake. On the second legend, the Prophet had a profound love for cats, particularly his cat <em>Muezza<\/em>. Once upon a time, according to this legend, Muhammad found <em>Muezza<\/em> sleeping on the sleeve of his tunic and cut it so he wouldn\u2019t disturb the dreams and the rest of his pet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Legends or truths, the certain thing is that the Turkish became passionate and respectful towards these beautiful felines.
