Visiting the Florida Keys means seeing the famous Hemingway House. Other than author Ernest Hemingway, the historic building is also known for its many cats.
Many who've been to Key West have visited Ernest Hemingway's former home, now the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. Aside from the celebrity of its former owner, the property is also famous for its resident population of cats. Some 40-50 of these unique and beautiful felines, referred to as "Hemingway Cats," call the grounds home.
Hemingway, a natural cat lover, named his cats after famous people, and the keepers of the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum carry on that tradition today.
