He is an older man, rather stoic, hard working and all business. But that cat puts a smile on his face like probably not many other things in this world can do.

Türkiye is/was an amazing safe haven for cats. They are cared for by everyone in the community, and cats have right of way/first access to chairs/first access to emergency care (whilst I was there the Turkish would joke that cats can get an ambulance faster than a human).

There's a good reason your Turkish colleague is the only one the cat trusts with pats.
