The Russian Hermitage boasts about sheltering over 50 cats and pampering them with food, a dedicated washing machine, and great healthcare. The cats even have a page on Wikipedia like influencers.
The little animals are used to the museum s visitors who treat them with love. Among those visitors was a French man who left a generous sum of money in his will for the cats living in the basement of the State Hermitage Museum in Russia. The museum is home to three million works of art, artifacts, and sculptures spread across buildings including the Winter Palace. According to the Hermitage s staff, these cats know the displayed works more than experts.
