Since living close to humans, the original wild cat, once a strictly solitary animal, has profoundly change its habits. Domestic cats who have regained their freedom do not return to the isolated, retiring life of their ancestors. Instead they group themselves together in parks and courtyards throughout the city.
The ancient Roman monuments, with their thousands of cubby-holes, have become the stray cats' preferred dwelling place. The documentary was filmed over a period of a year among the cat colony the has established itself around the "Magic Door" monument in Piazza Vittorio in Rome. The film illustrates how little we know about the social behavior of this urban feline living so close to us.
