Luckily, the cats survived, the home survived, and the volunteers who sheltered themselves there in the storm were fine! I, being fascinated, clicked 'like' on the museum Facebook page, and have enjoyed updates from time to time. The Hubby and I vacationed in the Florida Keys two or three times over the years...when I could get him to vacation rather than staycation...but we never visited The Hemingway Home Museum. On my bucket list? Oh yeah!
A week ago, there was a post about a 2019 Calendar of Hemingway Home cats! I ordered one immediately, since they warned that they sell out quickly.
I pine for a mitten-foot kitty...or two. Too bad Petfinder.com doesn't have a section for extra toes; I swear that they used to. There is something about those big feet...
Here are some of the adorable images!

If you all decide to spend your money at the website, then that's terrific, but I don't get a kickback or anything. I just like Key West, and cats! And I'm pretty sure that I've never read a book written by Ernest Hemingway, although I have watched "The Old Man and The Sea" film, with Spencer Tracy, made in 1958. There is a placard on a tree on Duval Street (main street for Key West) that says, "Ernest Hemingway pissed here", which shows just how irreverent the city's people are!
