We were walking somewhere from lunch, and we noticed a cat sitting on a small chair outside of a shop. The chair obviously was just for the cat (it was small). The lady who was taking us to lunch (she was posted in Istanbul -- an American -- and was responsible for taking care of us while we were there) told us the tale about cats & Ataturk. Sounds like one of the locals must have been having a good joke on the American lady!
