Cat Tries and Fails to Walk Up Descending Escalator

An intrepid feline tried and tried again to travel up a descending escalator at the airport in Istanbul, Turkiye. Cats are known for their quick reflexes and predator instincts. Negotiating moving stairs? Not so much. Fortunately for the cat, a kind human eventually intervened, picking up the feline and putting it on the right track—that is to say, the escalator going up. Hopefully it didn't miss its flight.
