An entertaining and practical travel guide for cat lovers in search of street cats, cat cafés, cat museums, and other cat-themed attractions and oddities around the world, plus valuable street cat safety and rescue information.
Since cats domesticated themselves some 10,000 years ago, they have been a big part of our lives. From catching household pests to wearing silly hats in our family photos, cats have captured our hearts, homes, and even our streets. From the ancient alleyways where they roam to the charming cafés where they're pampered, cats are everywhere. In Street Cats and Where to Find Them, you'll meet Icelandic cats in Reykjavik out for a mid-day jaunt, Greek cats playing in ancient Athens, and Puerto Rican cats of Old San Juan who rely on a community of caretakers. Through personal stories, stunning photography, and practical travel, rescue, and safety information for cat seekers, readers are introduced to a host of street cats, as well as the best cat cafés, kitty-themed museums, attractions, and oddities in popular cities around the globe. This heartwarming tome takes you to 20 travel destinations to see and spend time with your favorite felines and is for anyone with an intense longing to see the world, walk its winding streets, and be moved by the people, places, cats, and unique culture of each place, all while safely enjoying street cats and discovering actionable ways to help them. You'll be equally moved by the dozens of full-color photos of cats enjoying themselves on sunny streets and hanging out in cozy café windows.Author Biography
