A 94-year-old woman has left her $13 million fortune to her cat, making it the richest feline on the planet.

Marisa Assunta entrusted her entire estate and fortune to her furry friend after she died last month.

The Italian woman had a bulging bank account and numerous properties but had no living relatives and apparently no friends.

So stray cat Tommaso, who is estimated to be four years old and who Assunta rescued from the mean streets of Milan, can now afford a diamond crusted litter tray.

One hitch --  like American law, Italian law doesn't permit animals to inherit.  So the estate's attorneys decided that Tommaso and his fortune are going to the animal-loving nurse who cared for the elderly woman.

"I had no idea signora had such wealth," she said.

Now that's amore!

~What'th, leaving $13M to a self-centered cat is outrageous; --now if that loot was left to a dog such as a G.Shepherd, G.Retriever, or a Westie i could well concur! Ultimately the lawyer will likely end-up marrying the Nurse is my guess..!!!

Says one of two things, either the problem was that no one could get along with her or close to her, or she could not trust anyone else but her cat. Too bad she did not leave it to a charity that could help others, or help children or animals?

If everyone left to their fortunes to their animals instead of their lazy ungrateful kids, the world would be a better place and these kids would learn they have to tow the line like everyone else. Get rid of that silver spoon !
