A generous philanthropist has left money for cats living in St Petersburg museum Russia. These were the unusual beneficiaries in his will.
It is estimated that 50 cats live in the famous St Petersburg museum Russia.
At least 3 million works of art are displayed at the St Petersburg museum Russia.
St Petersburg museum Russia has hosted cats since the reign of Empress Elizabeth (1741 – 1961).
According to Catherine the Great, the cats were introduced to St Petersburg museum Russia’s basement to deal with the rodents and hence safeguard the galleries.
The cats are maintained using donations from well wishers. The cats are attended by a local vet and they have their own washing machine.
