Hello!
My name is Eldar and I'm a painter from Tashkent, Uzbekistan. I have a pretty 7 years old girl cat Ksyusha, here's her photo.
As you can see, she's fully white. And may be that's why she's deaf. But Ksyusha has a nice girl voice.
About a year ago I've been to Saint Petersbourg and visited the Hermitage Museum.
I heard before that there are Royal cats living there. I was so happy to be there and to see it all!
The point is that the State Hermitage Museum is former residence of Russian tsars in St. Petersburg known as the Winter palace. Since 1745 Empress Elisabeth ordered the best cats from entire Russia be brought hear to the Winter palace to rid it of rats. So court cats living there till nowadays guard the Hermitage treasures.
Take a look at them!
The Hermitage itself:
Nearby the Museum there's even the warning road sign for drivers, informing about cats, which is able to cross the road:
In the inner yard:
And the doors in the premises have special holes for cats:
Have a great day and hello again!!!
