A. For thousands of years cats and dogs have been people's favourite pets. You can find proof of that in the ancient world  — in Egyptian pyramids and cave paintings  — as well as today. Go to a park in any country early in the morning, and you will see many people walking their dogs. Open any kind of social media, and cats are among the most popular posts. But cats and dogs are not just pets. They have always been people's loyal friends and helpers, as well.

B. There are several museums around the world that employ cats. Perhaps the one with the longest history of using cats as mouse and rat hunters is the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, where cats have been officially working for over 250 years. The British Museum in London also used to have cats as "mousers" on their payroll, but this practice has been recently stopped. The Ernest Hemingway Museum in Florida also employs cats, most of which are descendants of Hemingway's original cat, Snow White. However, unlike other museums, they keep the cats as part of a tradition rather than for catching mice.

C. The Kuklachev Cat Theatre in Moscow is one of the most unusual theaters in the world, where cats are the main performers. Founded by Yuri Kuklachev in 1990, the theatre features trained cats that jump, balance, and perform tricks alongside human actors. Unlike in circuses, the cats are not forced to do tricks but are trained based on their natural abilities and preferences. The theatre promotes kindness to animals and emphasizes that cats should be treated with love, patience and respect.

D. Dogs' jobs are much more diverse than those of cats. Traditionally kept as guards, dogs have also been used for many years by the police, military and rescue teams. Perhaps the most famous rescue dog breed is St. Bernard, which was used by monks in the Alps to save travellers lost in the snowy and dangerous St. Bernard Pass. During their 200 years of service as rescue dogs in the 18^th and 19^th centuries, St. Bernards saved over 2,000 people, from lost children to Napoleon's soldiers.

E. There are several monuments to rescue dogs in Moscow. One of them, located at Victory Park, honors over 60,000 frontline dogs who, during World War II, rescued more than 700,000 wounded soldiers from battlefields, as well as delivered ammunition and combat reports, and detected and neutralized enemy explosive devices. Another monument, dedicated to both human and canine firefighters, pays tribute to the heroic dogs who assist in finding people trapped under ruins during fires, showcasing their vital role in saving lives.

F. Moscow is home to several monuments honoring heroic dogs. One of them is dedicated to Laika, the first dog to orbit the Earth. Laika was sent into space aboard Sputnik-2 in 1957, paving the way for human spaceflight. Another monument celebrates Belka and Strelka, the first dogs to travel to space and return safely. This monument features the two space dogs alongside the Sputnik satellite, the Vostok rocket, and the Soyuz spacecraft, symbolizing their contribution to space exploration and scientific progress.

G. There are several famous cat characters in literature. Three of the most well-known are the Cheshire Cat from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, Murr from "The Life and Opinions of Tomcat Murr" by E.T.A. Hoffmann, and Behemoth from Mikhail Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita". There is a sculpture of Behemoth near Bulgakov Museum in Moscow, and inside the museum, a real cat plays the role of the famous "primus-mending" cat.
