The project reflects Italy’s longstanding cultural affection for cats and its commitment to humane, compassionate coexistence with its many feline residents.

As one commenter put it:
“Eating animals is one thing while expecting them to endure cramped confinement for the time that they are alive, is pure cruelty and is abhorrent.”
