Achilles, the white male cat of the Hermitage Museum famous for his “prophetic” abilities, has predicted that the Iranian team will win the match against the Moroccan team in the FIFA World Cup in St. Petersburg today (June 15).
The blue-eyed cat, standing in front of two bowls of food and the flags of the two countries' football teams at the Hermitage Museum, did not hesitate to choose the bowl with the Iranian flag. Iran and Morocco play in Group B, along with Spain and Portugal.
Previously, the cat was also correct when it chose the Russian national team as the winner against Saudi Arabia in the opening match in Moscow on June 14. Host country Russia won 5-0 against Saudi Arabia.
Achilles was chosen as the prophet cat because of his exceptional ability to choose, analyze, and behave. Achilles is also deaf like many other white cats, but this disability helps him avoid distractions and focus better on his predictions.
The Hermitage Museum cat correctly predicted the results of three out of four matches of the 2017 Confederations Cup in St. Petersburg, including the opening and final matches. The cat’s “show of talent” in the St. Petersburg tournament was part of a joint project to develop tourism between St. Petersburg and the Hermitage Museum.
Achilles will “predict” the results of World Cup matches taking place in St. Petersburg on June 19, 22, 26 and July 6, 10.
