Canadian Parliamentary Cats : ウィキペディア英語版 | Canadian Parliamentary Cats
The Canadian Parliamentary Cats were a colony of stray cats living on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario in a Cat Sanctuary set aside for them. The care of the cats and maintenance of the sanctuary was carried out by volunteers, and the effort was funded by donations. The colony was closed in January 2013, after the remaining cats were adopted into homes. ==History== Cats were brought in to Parliament in 1924 to deal with a "mild plague of rats and mice in the basement of the then brand-new Centre Block."〔 The numbers of rodents soon fell, but when the unneutered cats began to multiply, they were banished to the outdoors in the same year.〔 Cats were employed in the Parliament Building to control the rodent population until 1955 when they were replaced by chemicals.〔
