My first time to Key West - today we visited some historic sites. We really got lucky this week with not too many tourists. I love cats and was entertained by the polydactyls here. Full review by Stacy G

We did walk by before we visited and one can only see a few glimpses, given the wall and all the trees. The writer built the high wall to keep curiosity seekers at bay when he lived there and it still works today. But, well worth the fee to visit the museum.
Q:
Are the cats inside and outside? Would someone allergic to cats be advised to avoid this attraction?
A:
Yes cats are everywhere! They are well behaved and it encouraged not to pet them but if allergic then maybe it’s not a good idea.
Q:
Can u bring cat treats and give them to the cats?
A:
I wouldn’t. But they are all over the house, grounds and furniture, so you’ll be sure to see them. Our guide said their are 60 cats on premise.
