Hello friends)
On the photo I stay near the monument to the Kazan cat, situated on the Bauman street. It is in Kazan. Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan. Tatarstan is a republic in Russian Federation)
According to the story, russian empress Elizabeth found out that there are no mice in Kazan, because in those times there lived special breed of cats : strong, active, with massive head, muscular neck, big paws and short tail. In 1745 she took 30 cats))) to her palace in Saint Petersburg, soon cats catched all mice and rats there.
Nowadays Kazan cats are working in the State Hermitage Museum)))
I hope it was interesting)
