by Federica Sgarbi (Author)

Synopsis

Have you ever thought about cats? Federica Sgarbi has - so much so that she has written a book about their enigmatic attraction.One weekend Federica paid a visit to her local cattery. It gave her an idea. She worked tirelessly through lonely-cat ads to re-home all of its seventy eight abandoned, elderly and injured cats who might otherwise never again have enjoyed the company of a loving owner. This heart-warming book is for all of her rescue cats and brings together their adorable true stories and photos - from one-eyed Ying Yang, elderly Sovereign, to lost-and-found Swami.Throughout, Federica uses famous thinkers to raise questions about our curious feline friends. What is it about cats that makes us crave them as companions time and time again? What does it say about a person's moral compass when they mistreat a pet? And, what can we practically do to give every cat the affection and care it deserves?
