Cats of Rome is a cute book. I had no idea there were so many stray cat colonies in Rome so it was informative. The photography is okay and what has let me down a bit; there are several great photos but most of them leave something to be desired, usually in the way of composition. I looked up this photographer and her other photos are stunning so this could be an issue of just the ARC file having low-quality images (which it definitely does). It seems like it will be a fairly small physical book at roughly 7×8 inches and 144 pages. I see enough potential that I’m very tempted to get the kindle version myself. I think this would be a great small gift for a cat lover who also loves travel, especially if they have an affinity for Italy. 3/5 Stars.

Cats of Rome will be released on April 22, 2025. I was given a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
