There is a cat behind every great man
Many creative people had cats, for some they even became muses. Apparently, people with a fine mental organization prefer to have cats, not dogs. For some, these fluffy creatures help to relax, for others they become a source of inspiration.
It is known that many great artists, famous actors and legendary musicians had a weakness for these amazing animals.
