The Day of the Hermitage Cats

[catapault]

Some lovely painting, some amusing ones, which illuminate the background story of the 50 cats of the Hermitage Museum: https://www.hermitagemuseum.org/wps...7vFdRig9M!/dz/d5/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/?lng=en

Who, BTW, recently inherited some money, a bequest from an admirer in France: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/french-man-cats-will-intl-scli/index.html

Hey C catapault - you beat me to this one! I saw it today and was immediately captured by it - top to tail! Imagine.........ever since 1745 !

And, I couldn't resist this one: Where do these cats live?............................in the CATacombs, of course

Three staff.........and their own Vet? OMG, talk about the life of Riley !

One of the items Google gave me was an overview piece from CBC News...........before it went from National Broadcaster to National Disgrace....a good quality piece from a quality journalist:
