Get acquainted with the United Kingdom's real Aristocats and their very important jobs

If you've ever seen the Disney movie The Aristocats, then you are familiar with the song “Everybody Wants to Be a Cat.” But even if you've never seen the movie or heard the song, the notion of wanting to be a cat is surely one that appeals to us all. And why not?
The pampered life of a kept cat is one sweet gig if you can get it. You sleep whenever and wherever you like, come and go as you please, have people wait on you hand and foot, never want for food or shelter, are fawned over endlessly and in many cases, are treated like royalty. Indeed, there are actually and in fact, real-life “Aristocats” living in the United Kingdom.
