Yes. The house was built in the 1850s, though.

I took this from the internet, as I didn’t get a picture there. Too busy trying not to twist my ankle.

Yeah, it was really pretty. Cats everywhere. I was buying a book at the bookstore, and a cat walked right across the counter. I had to step aside so I didn’t get a cat landing on my face.

Coming back to this, I forgot to mention that half of the cats have polydactyly, meaning they have six toes. All of the cats had the gene, though.
