ITALY: Romans are said to adore their feline friends so much that they are considered “a bio-cultural heritage”.
Anyone convicted of killing a cat – owned or a stray – could face a €10,000 fine and up to 3 years in prison.
It is also believed that cats are used to control rodent situations.

It is estimated that Rome alone is home to around 300,000 cats – the only residents who are permitted to explore the ruins whenever they like.
