小说家朱天心是爱猫人也是资深动物保护志工,她与自家屋内和屋外街头这些倏尔出现又匆匆消失的生灵的羁绊由来已久。在《猎人们》这部以街头猫族为主角的经典随笔集中,她以对等的观察视角与爱憎分明的文字,记录下十数位都市边缘“猎人”的生涯。它们个性迥异,有的身经百战、野性十足若街头帝王,也有的胆小木讷,或贪嘴黏人;有的在人族家中逡巡不去,有的失散于街头江湖。共处于寒凉都市中,这些人族与猫族的短暂邂逅充满温情,也唤起着人内心的社会责任感。

Novelist Zhu Tianxin, a cat lover and veteran animal protection volunteer, has a long history with the creatures that pop up and disappear from the streets inside and outside her home. In "The Hunters", a classic collection of essays featuring street cats, she records the careers of more than a dozen urban fringe "hunters" with equal observation and clear-cut words. They have very different personalities, some battle-hardened, wild like street emperors, and some timid and dull, or greedy and sticky; Some stay at home, some are scattered in the streets. Together in the cold city, these brief encounters between humans and cats are full of warmth, but also arouse people's inner sense of social responsibility.
