Russia’s largest lender, Sberbank, is giving a housewarming cat to new homeowners who sign up for the bank’s new special mortgage program.
The bank gives clients a choice of 10 breeds on its promotional website, from salt and pepper cat ‘Caesar’ that has a mustache to a hairless cat called ‘Kuzya’. The most popular choice so far is Knops – a gray and white kitten with piercing yellow eyes.
In Russia it is a tradition to let a cat first walk into a new home or apartment to bring good luck. After the cat, the owners can enter and throw a housewarming party.
