    Except for Georgia (the country), where cats seem to be treated as some sort of weed that grows on it’s own

    I like this phrasing. I’d love to hear more about how you came to this conclusion.

      There are a lot of strays around at first sight, but then I found out that at least about a third of them have owner/owners because they sometimes stick to several places. A lot of people also care for the strays and check them for issues not taking 'em home, some initiatives are doing neutering and finding homes for treated cats.

      I heard it’s somewhat similar in Türkiye, everyone loves cats but mostly don’t want to care about them above feeding them when met. Don’t know if outdoor cats are popular there, though
