They say that cats rule the internet. And that is not an overstatement.
There are so many pictures and videos of cats—regular Joe Schmo felines as well as meowebrities—on the internet doing all sorts of ridiculous things that many forget that cats actually have a purpose on this lovely planet of ours. Among many other things, they excel as pest control experts.
This one botanical garden actually has a number of cats living inside it for this very reason. But even here, the cats manage to find their way on to the internet and go viral. And one cat is now in the spotlight, raising more questions than there are answers at this point.
Despite what the internet might lead you to believe about cats, they do actually have a very important function, and that is pest control
Squid biologist and creator of the SquidMobile, Sarah McAnulty, has recently visited the Longwood Gardens, a spectacular botanical garden located a short drive west from Philadelphia, PA. But instead of experiencing the garden’s rich history and vast variety of flora, the one thing that was on Sarah’s mind (and by proxy, on the internet’s mind) is what the heck did Persimmon do?! Oh, and Bored Panda got in touch with Sarah for more information on the matter.
Well, this one botanical garden has loads of them for this very reason, but it also has to deal with whatever shenanigans they might be up to
Following biologist Sarah McAnulty’s tweet about Persimmon the orange tabby’s arrival at an “inopportune moment”, folks started sharing their run-ins with her

Persimmon and many other cats are there to keep the pest problem at bay and each have their own territories to guard
Folks online speculate that the cat was probably being booted because they were supposed to be elsewhere or to avoid crowded places
And those who had no idea who Persimmon was shared their own orange cats, giving off more of the same aura as Persimmon
The original tweet went viral with nearly 60,000 likes and over 3,200 retweets
