Here in Ottawa, there used to be a colony of stray cats living on Parliament Hill. My understanding is that they were originally descended from the cats that controlled the rodents on the Hill until the 1950s.

The colony even had a miniature House of Parliament to live in at the back of the grounds, and it became quite a tourist attraction. But between the retirement of the volunteers who cared for the cats, and a sterilization program, the colony was reduced to just a few. Once they were adopted out, they shut it all down last year.

Wish I could have seen it. Glad that the kitties were OK, though.
