"Egypt's Enduring Legacy"
The cats of Cairo are street-smart survivors, far from being pampered house pets. Yet, they share the legacy of life in Cairo with its human residents. You'll seldom see a street vendor without a cat at her side. An ancient man, sitting in the sun on an old wooden chair, will inevitably have a cat on his lap. Cats laze on prayer rugs in mosques. And everywhere--everywhere, you'll see the symbiotic relationship of Cairo people with the street cats. Lorraine Chittock has captured this spiritual and physical connection with her stunning photographs, and lest you missed it, the quotes from Egypt tradition will help you understand. She has encapsulated seven years of study of the Cairo Cats into a visual slice of life.
