For those who are, like me, confused about how the cat could belong to a man who died an entire human lifetime ago: the museum houses descendants of Hemingway's childhood cat (and a bunch of other cats too). The website has a page about them that includes pictures of a few https://www.hemingwayhome.com/our-cats
This sent me down a rabbit hole where I learned PETA investigated the house. According to Wikipedia, even PETA said “What I found was a bunch of fat, happy and relaxed cats.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Hemingway_House
That article also has another picture of a cat lounging on priceless historical artifacts.
Their legal troubles with the USDA over these cats is an interesting read as well.
