✦《羅馬之貓》Cats of Rome——在永恆之城,與三十萬隻貓相遇 ✦
來自獲獎攝影師、動物保護倡議者 Traer Scott——《Cats of Rome》以七十五幅絢麗彩色影像,捕捉羅馬街頭最迷人的居民。
在 Rome,據估計生活著超過三十萬隻貓,其中至少三分之一為野貓。由於法律保護,羅馬的貓擁有「居住權」——牠們自由棲息於古老遺跡、公園與城市街區,成為這座城市獨特的風景。

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.
