Description

A photojournalistic salute to indomitable alley cats The cats in this poignant book may not have been lucky enough to have been adopted into loving homes, but the joy they manage to wring from life is a testament to their will to survive and an inspiration to us all. Gripping photojournalistic images celebrate the lives of a colony of strays making their way around an urban jungle. The author and photographer document the lives of these wild felines at play, asleep, exploring, and watching over their kittens, capturing both lighthearted and serious moments. The urban setting dramatizes the plight of these dispossessed street warriors, but the story told in each compelling photo celebrates their triumphant survival. With both black-and-white and color photos, Urban Tails captures not only the endearing antics of these lovable cats, but also their invincible spirit.
