Today - after a wonderful minivacation that took me away from the Museum (sorry readers! not sorry) - I find Hyperallergic has a much better post than anything I could offer you today. Dating from October 2016, it's "A Tour of Meownuments to the World’s Most Pawesome Cats," and there are feline institutions included about which even I, your friendly Curator, knew nothing. Included: Istanbul's own Tombili, whose statue seems often to be given refreshment and gifts.  As it should be.
