Now
that's some serious scratch—Tommaso, a 4-year-old former stray, is now
the world's richest cat, the inheritor of $13.4 million worth of
properties around Italy, reports the Guardian.
Tommaso's rich owner, a 94-year-old childless widow, died last month,
leaving her entire estate to her cat. However animals cannot inherit
property directly in Italy, so the widow named a cat-loving nurse she
met in a park as Tommaso's trustee. "I had no idea the signora had such
wealth," said the nurse, identified only as Stefania.
Tommaso
may be the world's richest cat, but he still has a long way to go to
before the can compare to the world's richest dog—Gunther IV, a German
Shepherd from Germany, is said to be worth $372 million.
