Cat Napping On Sidewalk And Accidentally Raising Charity Funds
The streets of Alanya, Turkey, were buzzing with excitement one day, but it wasn't for a celebrity sighting or a big event. It was all because of a furry little star lying on the sidewalk. It was a random cat who found the perfect spot to chill out, belly up in the fresh air. It may have seemed like he was just lazing around, but his charm was undeniable, stopping people in their tracks.

You might assume he's a stray cat, but in fact, he's not. This lovely four-legged friend is the beloved pet of Golden Eye Jewellery, a store nearby. His name is Tarik.
Ender, the store's spokesperson, shared the heartwarming story of how Tarik became an internet sensation. "Tarik came to us two years ago," Ender said. "He was very weak and sick. We took him in with us and fed him. As you can see, now he is fat and lazy— very sweet and docile cat."

On that particular day, Tarik's outgoing personality turned into a mini fortune, with generous strangers leaving behind a pile of money. Ender made sure it went to a good cause.
“We feed around 15 stray cats a day,” Ender said. “We had a nice banquet for Tarik’s friends with the money he collected, buying them nice food. Our goal is to increase people’s interest in stray animals.
