From the award-winning author of Finding Home and Rescue Cats: a dazzling collection of photographs of cats throughout the iconic city of Rome. Whether you are a cat lover, armchair traveler, or photography buff, Traer Scott's Cats of Rome will entice you into this ancient city that is home to more than 300,000 cats. Of these, at least one-third are thought to be feral. As Roman cats are protected by law, they have the right to live where they choose in architectural ruins, parks, and neighborhoods throughout the city. In seventy-five brilliant color photographs, Rome's feline denizens are shown as they live naturally among stunning, classical backdrops, with visual whispers of the gattaras-the often nameless and plentiful women of Rome who volunteer to care for the feral colonies. These beautiful cats are safe, cared for, and magnificent, and this keepsake volume is perfect for anyone who has visited Rome or dreams of doing so. CELEBRATED PHOTOGRAPHER: Traer Scott, award-winning photographer and animal welfare activist, turned her lens on the cats of Rome as she explored the Eternal City and sought out evidence of its estimated four thousand feral cat colonies. Through her practiced lens, these majestic felines and their breathtaking surroundings-from the Colosseum to lush cemeteries to the ruins of Porta Magica-create an irresistible travelogue for cat lovers and travel enthusiasts alike. Scott's bestselling animal photography books include Forever Home, Radiant, and Shelter Dogs. CAT COFFEE TABLE BOOK: Several children's books feature the wondrous cats of Rome, but this is the first photography book to showcase the beloved cat sanctuaries of this historic and uniquely beautiful European city. ITALIAN HISTORY: Each chapter showcases one of Rome's vibrant cat colonies, with introductory text about the location, a brief bit of history, and an overview of the cat population's roots within it. From ancient to modern Rome, this artful book offers a visual journey through a mesmerizing place. Perfect for:
- Cat lovers and collectors of cat photography
- Travelers and armchair travelers
- Fans of Italian culture, history, and architecture
- Readers who enjoy nature, animal, and travel coffee table books
