About 60 felines follow their ancestors, working to keep the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg rodent-free.

One of the largest art galleries in the world is relying on feline power to keep it rodent-free.

No rats/mice around my house either as I have 3 cats and being rodent free (and raccoon and skunk free) is a blessing!
