Hooked on ice cream, stray cat finds residence in Turkish cafe
Barut, an strange stray cat enjoys fame and extra ice cream because the movies and images of the younger feline indulging in ice cream went viral.
He took shelter in a coffeehouse within the central Turkish province of Sivas about one 12 months in the past. The title of the cat (which implies “gunpowder” in Turkish) contradicts his mellow demeanor when he sights a cone of ice cream.
The cat rapidly grew to become the mascot of the coffeehouse in Altınyayla district frequented by locals and expats who often purchase ice cream for Barut. Coffeehouse proprietor Gazi Tekin mentioned he adopted Barut whereas he was a kitten and he eats at the very least one cone of ice cream on daily basis. “Clients love him very a lot. They eat ice cream collectively. He grew to become well-known after we shared his movies on-line. We now have clients coming right here completely to see him and shopping for him ice cream,” he advised Ihlas Information Company (IHA) on Sunday.
Yunus Yılmaz, an everyday, mentioned Barut was very pleasant. “He likes enjoying round with clients and mendacity on our laps. Aside from ice cream, he loves simit (conventional Turkish bagel with sesame),” he mentioned. Yılmaz provides Barut may be very “choosy” in terms of ice cream and doesn’t like additional flavors like chocolate in his ice cream.
