We love learning about different cat places around the world. One such place is a very cool gallery in Colonia Roma, Mexico City called Garros Gallery. This gallery is the one and only museum dedicated to cats in Mexico, and it’s a great destination to visit if you’re travelling in Mexico.

This week we have another famous cat lover for you: Freddie Mercury, late frontman of the rock band Queen, who was a huge cat person. Freddie’s cats were as important to him as any human. He had as many as six cats at one point, and along with being his close companions and friends, they also inspired his music and style.
Most of Freddie’s cats were adopted from rescue centers and they all lived in his London home. He loved to lavish affection on them – they had fresh chicken and fish prepared for them, were each given their own stocking full of treats at Christmas, and had full run of the house. While away on tour, Freddie would even call home to talk to them. Read More…
