085 - Ceyda Torun (Kedi Director) - A Cat's Purpose

The Purrrcast is the cat podcast for you and your feline friends. Based in Los Angeles, hosts Sara Iyer and Steven Ray Morris chat with fellow cat enthusiasts about the furry little creatures they love. Not sure how the cats feel about it though. On episode EIGHTY-FIVE of The Purrrcast, we sit down with director Ceyda Torun to talk about her new documentary about the cats in Istanbul, Kedi. We chat with her about the process of making the film, the cats in her life growing up (like Buttons), she shares with us the importance of cats in Islam, and describes the two black strays in her own neighborhood. The Purrrcast, talking to cat people because we can't talk to their cats. New episodes every Wednesday! Please rate and subscribe in iTunes: thepurrrcast.com Email us!
