It is no exaggeration to say that cats are the cutest and most charming creatures on the planet. Since time immemorial, people began to get these charming animals, communication with which always brings joy. Let's look at the 5 most famous cats. They have become famous all over the world.
Police Rusik
Thanks to this cat, many people learned that these animals can also be police officers along with dogs. Rusik proved this by his example. He was a full-fledged member of the domestic police - he worked on the Caspian Sea, helped to eradicate smuggling there. This is a really important task, because the sturgeon, which is found in those places, is on the verge of extinction.
Rusik actively fought against poaching. He used to be homeless until he was sheltered by police officers. He ate only fish taken from poachers. As a result, he was so used to her smell that he learned to detect smuggling in vehicles at the checkpoint. It is unfortunate, but Rusik died during the performance of his duties. It happened in 2013. This cat is the most famous crime fighter. His memory will live for a long time.
Chessy - the face of a well-known company
A kitten named Chessy was a representative of Chesapeake & Ohio Railways. Its story began with the fall edition of Fortune, published in 1933, which printed an ad for the railway with a slumbering animal and the slogan “Sleeps like a kitten.” The ad did not say what his name was. The painting was bought from an Austrian painter for $ 5. Every day the kitten painted on it became more and more famous. His image could be seen in absolutely any places, for example, on train cars, calendars, posters. Perhaps it was the most famous cat in the world at that time. His image has always been before the eyes of millions of people. Soon, the railway company acquired another lucky kitten - Peak. From the names of two animals a funny word was formed - Chesapeake.
Museum guard Mike
From 1909 until 1929, the main entrance of the British Museum was fully protected from stray dogs and any other animals. He was guarded by a cat named Mike. He was very difficult in character and was dissatisfied with almost everything. Like dogs, he hated other cats and constantly chased them. They got it from him ... This cat is the most famous guard, you can not argue with that.
Mike also did not have warm feelings for people. But there was one exception: the cat normally belonged to Ernest Wallis Budge - his owner and gatekeeper of the museum. He alone allowed him to feed and caress. However, despite his heavy character, Mike gained immense popularity. They looked after him even at a time when the museum was closed for a long time, for example, during the First World War. The cat died in 1929. Many visitors to the museum stop near its small tombstone, located at the entrance.
Grumpy cat (Tardar sauce)
If you are interested in the most famous cats of the Internet, then you definitely know the cutie Sauce Tardar. However, she became famous as Grumpy Cat. Her real name is known to few. In fact, this kitty is by no means gloomy - she is joyful, funny and still quite small (was born on April 4, 2012). This unusual appearance is due to the fact that the Tardar has the wrong bite, as well as dwarfism. But no serious diseases were found in her. However, many people think that this cat is the most famous sufferer, that he is offended by fate. In fact, this is not so. Tardar’s life can be called calm and measured, like most domestic cats, but for a short time she managed to build a successful career on the network: she is removed every week, and then the photos are posted on the Internet. Grumpy Cat is a millionaire, she really has a huge fortune. Perhaps the filming of the movie in which the Tardar will get a role will begin soon.

The work was created at the dawn of the Enlightenment, and the protagonist, so talented and successfully finding ways out of various difficult situations, can be called a symbol of the approaching period of the triumph of reason, giftedness and personal initiative, regardless of belonging to a particular social group. The cat, not yet having a boot, is inherited by the gloomy, pessimistic owner, who does not even suspect what gift of fate fell into his hands. After a while, the main character puts on his boots. From this moment, he begins his active work to transform his owner from a poor ragged man into a royal relative of the Marquis de Carabas.
