Istanbul has as many cats per square meter as the kitchens of Seattle restaurants have rats.
Eastern European countries have an abundance of street dogs. The hill I grew up on was known locally as Sumner Heights. People from around our community would intentionally bring their unwanted dogs onto the hill to leave them there. One of those dogs was brought in by my family when I was in the eighth grade. My relationship with Bo fostered an affection for unwanted dogs in me. I still would love to take almost every dog I see under my roof, any roof, and see to their feeding and care. I do not typically feel that way about street cats.
