Tommaso the cat had a feline Cinderella story: as a stray kitten he wandered onto the grounds of elderly Italian property magnate Maria Assunta. Assunta bequeathed $13 million to the cat or whomever would look after him. When she died in 2011, at age 94, her nurse took responsibility for both the cat and his vast fortune.
