Rome: City of the Wildcats [VIDEO]

Thanks to @kressie42 on Twitter, I was alerted recently to this documentary about the cats that live on the streets of Rome, and particularly around the ruins of Trajan’s Forum. It’s available in two parts on YouTube, delightfully narrated by Sir David Attenborough (treating these petite felines like the wild and interesting creatures they are), and highly enjoyable. I think it dates from the year 2000, but it’s no less entertaining today.
