State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow. A traktir is an old Russian word used to denote a restaurant. Both are in the lower left corners, next to a table leg. I have to admit, the French cat looks a bit froggy while the Russian cat is thin and wiry but still the resemblance is evident. Of course cats were always popular in restaurants as ratters but because of the development of modern pest-control devices, their services aren't needed any longer.
Some restaurants still employ cats but more as a tourist attraction than anything else.
