If kittens never became cats then the world would be a better place.

I once read, totally off here, that during the plagues of the middle ages they often blamed cats as being the demonic evil doers that most American men associate them with being today.

So they slaughtered cats but had they not slaughtered the cats they would have had an animal who would've feasted on the rats that were actually carrying the plague. So without something to eat the rats the plague spread.

I swear I read this, a flight attendant did not tell me this. I'm sure if I made the effort I could find a reference.

Just imagine how much of this we could have avoided:



Shame.
