Fun fact: Ernest Hemingway used to collect polydactyl cats and now, because of him, there is a abnormally sizable population of polydactyl cats on Key West, FL.

Ive been to the Hemingway house 20 or so times now (every year I visit) and it’s great. Now i just go to sit there and pet cats. I don’t even care about Hemingway.

If you are not having a very large stiff drink while you are petting them, you may be doing it wrong!

That's rad! I want to go there some day exclusively for the cats

Not terribly rad… He was an epic alcoholic

Nonono, I meant to comment on the comment above you. My bad.

I can honestly take or leave Hemingway. I was never particularly a fan of his writing style.
