About the Book and the Author

Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, “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. 

Traer Scott is an award-winning fine art and commercial photographer and bestselling author of fourteen books including Shelter Dogs,  Finding Home and Radiant; Farm Animals Up Close and Personal. 

Her work is exhibited around the world and is regularly featured in national and international print and online publications. Her books have been reviewed in National Geographic, Life, Vogue, the New York Times Lens Blog, O, the Boston Globe, School Library Journal (starred review), the Wall Street Journal, American Photo Magazine, Le Monde, Der Stern, Popular Photography, and Popular Science, among numerous other outlets.
