Historical Facts #1: Cats
During Pope Gregory IX’s term, he declared that cats were associated with devil worship, resulting in their mass extermination.
Ironically, it is believed that this large-scale expunging of felines helped to spread the Bubonic Plague, which ravaged Europe in the 1300s and killed over a hundred million people. No cats meant the rat population (which carried the plague) ran wild.
I actually learned that in school. My History teacher was da best and we gad to write an essay based on a topic of that era, most chose to write about Shakespeare and theatrical arts, y’know all that jazz. I chose to do the plague.
We had to use at least four online sources and one book source.
