Animal enthusiast Ahmet Selki recently saw a random street cat while conducting business in Istanbul, Turkey. The cat appeared to be out and about doing the same things as him.
The cat was gazing intently at a window display when she appeared to notice something.
As Selki looked on, it became obvious that the cat wasn’t interested in clothes — but rather the colorful little ball pit the store had set up as decoration.
The window display had worked, though the store likely wasn’t expecting to attract a client quite like this. Regardless, the cat had clearly found exactly what she was looking for.
Here’s video of what happened next:
The cat spent a good deal of time playing inside the store and was treated incredibly well by the staff. It appears that the “buy” may not have been as spontaneous as first thought.
Selki told The Dodo, “The people at the store didn’t look startled.” It appears that this was not the first instance of it.
Selki, who provides care for stray animals in his community, was inspired by the cat’s apparent happiness.
He said, “I’m going to build a ball pit for stray animals and encourage them to have fun.” This movie demonstrates that animals want entertainment just as much as they do food and shelter.
