The Wall of Patrons


The Museum of Cats has, for several centuries, recognised a limited number of humans deemed sufficiently useful, quiet, or operationally relevant to warrant formal acknowledgement. Recognised Patrons may, at the Museum's discretion, be inscribed upon the Patrons' Wall.

Patron status does not imply equality with cats.


Certified by the Feline Council, Est. 1633
