Hemingway's house and cats spared by Hurricane Irma
Hurricane Irma battered the Florida Keys over the weekend, but the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum in Key West, its staffers and its 54 six-toed cats were unharmed by the storm, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Jacque Sands, the general manager of the Hemingway Home told the newspaper that the building was not severely damaged by the hurricane, and that the museum's 10 staffers and the dozens of polydactyl felines that populate the property are safe and accounted for.
The museum's staff made headlines after announcing that they wouldn't heed orders to evacuate the Keys, thought to be particularly vulnerable to Irma's wind and rain.
Mariel Hemingway, the actress and Ernest Hemingway's granddaughter, had urged Sands to leave the house and seek safer shelter, the Telegraph reported.
