Top Cat and his Gang in Istanbul

Istanbul is undoubtedly the city of cats. They are everywhere and come in all shapes and colors.

Walking along a quite area of town I came across a scene that made me inmediately recall "Top Cat", that cartoon series created by Hanna-Barbera factory: 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Cat
 
Top Cat and his gang of alley cats, constantly worrying about having something to put in their mouths, if possible, outside the world of trash containers.



And here I put the sequence in which I met Top Cat and his minions:

he'll be the star in my next blog post

Top Cat and his Gang working the streets:
Top Cat and Brain on top of the container,
Benny the Ball and Spook cordon off the area,
Fancy-Fancy and Choo-Choo dipped into the trash bags.
