All About My Cat

This book looks at the history of cats, their physiology, behavior and characteristics, and includes a section on the worldwide problem of feral and abandoned cats, an extremely important and misunderstood issue. The cat sanctuary of Rome, Torre Argentina, is one of the world’s city cat sanctuaries mentioned in this book. The center of Rome is now completely stray-free thanks to the tireless efforts of the "gattare" (cat ladies) of Rome, the vets who help them and the generous donors who make their work possible. Although the cat ladies of Rome do not receive any municipal or state financing for the work they do, or even any official recognition, they continue because it is for the welfare of the cats. Such sanctuaries are an inspiration to many and the work they do is vital not only to feral and stray cats, but also to wildlife everywhere, which is why a chapter in this book is devoted to them. Packed with interesting information and beautiful images of cats, readers will gain a greater understanding of our feline friends and the importance of being a responsible cat owner. If you love cats, you will love this book!
