A pair of New York cats are living in the lap of luxury as real-life Aristocats after their affluent owner left them $300,000 in her will.
Ellen Frey-Wouter, who died at the age of 88 with no children to inherit her $3 million estate, stipulated that $300,000 of her estate go to a trust fund for her cats, Troy and Tiger.
The felines, which are now cared for by two of Frey-Wouter's former health care aides, have all of their food, grooming, veterinary care and other expenses covered by the trust fund.
A Tennessee man named Leon Sheppard Sr. made similar headlines in 2013 when he died and left his $250,000 fortune and his 4,270 square foot home in a gated community to his cats, Frisco and Jake, instead of any of his five children, 12 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
