I’ve been there a number of times and the cats are VERY cool. Glad they will stay. I especially hope Marilyn and Betty Grable are well...

Has anyone seen Schrodinger’s cat? I’m not sure if he’s dead or alive.

A few years ago I was there and didn't see how the cats were anything but an asset.
Any guess how many they'll need to cull?
Hemingway cats could probably fetch a few bucks...
