Fierce Attachments
Autor Rosemary Sullivan Ilustrat de Colleen Sullivanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 oct 2026
From award-winning author Rosemary Sullivan, a beautifully illustrated exploration of the feline spirit—and the mysteries that draw us to cats.
“It's charming, insightful, and—for cat lovers—pretty darn irresistible…” —Margaret Atwood
In this tender, deeply observed portrait of the human–feline bond, acclaimed writer Rosemary Sullivan teams up with sister and artist Colleen Sullivan, inviting readers into the lives of two unforgettable cats: Negrito, an intrepid neighborhood explorer, and Ensueño, a charming trickster with a talent for theft. Rescued as kittens by their heroic mother—who braved a burning house six times to save her litter—these cats grow into unique personalities who shape the daily rhythms of Sullivan’s life.
Blending personal anecdotes, natural history and thoughtful reflections, Fierce Attachments captures the mystery of how cats perceive the world: seeing ultraviolet hues, navigating by scent, remembering with uncanny clarity and demonstrating powerful homing instincts.
At once enchanting and contemplative, Fierce Attachments suggests that cats may be more than companions—they may be intermediaries, reconnecting us to the natural world and reminding us of our place in a larger cosmic story. This is an essential book for cat lovers, nature readers and anyone intrigued by the quiet intelligence of the animals who share our lives.
