Dude the Museum Cat

In February, The Dodo, an online publisher of positive animal-related videos, shared social media videos they created in partnership with our team about Dude the cat ahead of his 15th birthday and 14th anniversary at the museum. Since then, the videos have been seen by millions, with thousands of reshares. Other media covered the story, resulting in more interest in Dude. In the process, Dude has made many new friends, with visitors coming from the region as well as Connecticut, Texas, Florida and more.
