About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a kind, feel-good documentary about animals and everyday human connection, with a travelogue vibe; Not for you if you need conflict, hard-hitting realism, or a faster pace like Flee.
Pros: uplifting and gentle tone; charming cat personalities; warm look at Istanbul | Cons: feels one-sided at times; can run a bit long; less for non-cat fans
