Exactly what I needed | I get it, times are tough and it may be hard to justify the expense of a coffee table book of cat photography. But go with me on this: times are tough and it's the gentle and the kind and the feline that will make them easier to manage. In the middle of all that's always going on anymore, it can only help to have at hand the opportunity to read about the women who volunteer throughout Rome to feed and care for feral cat colonies. When anxiety or stress raise their heads, why not reach for well-composed photographs of content cats? It is a bit difficult to fully review the book, because the necessary protective watermark is smack dab in the middle of most of the images. However, the layout, the presentation, the production, and the text are all excellent, and the photography where visible is quality

I admit, I was mostly interested in this because I love cats and will never pass up an opportunity to look at cute pictures of them. However, as someone who has never been to Rome, I appreciate that there was a lot of context explaining the presence of the cats in this ancient city and how things have been changing in recent years. To be fair, the photos are still the star of the show. I loved seeing cats in unique parts of the city; my favorite being the cemetery section. Overall, this is exactly the type of book I want on my coffee table to show off to all my house guests.
