In Istanbul (my city), Turkey, an adorable stray cat made a surprise appearance at a classical music concert.
The CRR (Cemal Reşit Rey) Symphony Orchestra (CRRSO, see Notes 1, 2) was performing in Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall in Istanbul.
Then, this adorable stray cat (a calico) entered the scene and stole the show.
Conductor: “Anyone allergic to cats? … Well, we will play like this, then.”
