An old Russian saying has it:
A house isn’t a home until it has a cat in it.
It seems that’s still true today. 59 percent of all Russian households have at least one cat (more have two or more than have just one). Therefore, don’t be surprised to find a cat rubbing your ankle in welcome as you take off your shoes to stay a spell (Russians ALWAYS remove their outdoor shoes at the entrance… just like French-Canadians do). Do wear clean socks and wash your feet beforehand… youse been warned…
