Cats are found in many unexpected places, working, relaxing or just being. The Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg Russia is one of these places. Behind the scenes are a small army of felines who have been ’employed’ and cared for for many years and they work hard to keep the rodent population under control. It seems that cats really know how to get access into unusual places, and to be cared for and fed. Their skills of mousing are make them sought after and desired. Unlike the rodents they are welcome, and loved.
