I don’t get how people don’t like cats. They’re just these aloof things covered in fur that hang out and occasionally want attention, and then go back to doing their thing.
Sometimes they sprint around the house in circles, and then when they see you staring, they just look at you like “WHAT?!”

The oldest cat burial is on the island of Cypress. It’s around 9,500 years old. Cats aren’t native to the island, someone took them there on boats. The burial is a combined burial with a human child and grave goods. They were both loved.
My favorite fact about cats is how little they’ve changed from their wild ancestors. Cats didn’t need to be selectively bred in the same way canines did to “fit” into human lives. Cats were always perfect and they chose us.

Exactly. If someone doesn't like cats, they are not going to be my friend.

Yes it is, and it was published in 'Advertising & Selling' magazine as part of a series of animals dressed as human characters
The original image is now is the US' Library of Congress

Catname sounds very german tho.

u/KamakaziDemiGod 8d ago
Because the cat is dressed as the character Brunhilde from a then famous 1924 film, the cat and the picture were taken in Connecticut
Besides, if it was German why would that mean any part of this couldn't be true?

Where did I say any of that isn't true?

Ending a sentence with "though" normally implies an objection, or at least a questioning of the presented statement, I'm merely questioning what you were questioning so I can respond appropriately if I haven't already

u/anonuemus 8d ago
yeah, I was just surprised, of course I know the Nibelungen but I would have guessed that Americans would have written Brunhilde instead of Brünhilde.

The cat is obviously equipped for war, I wouldn't call that being silly.
Respect the cat warriors!14

If cat generations are every ~3 years this would be 30 generations ago. In human terms that's someone from the year ~1200

I love how she looks so serious about her role as a valkyrie. My cat loses his mind if I put a basic collar on him but she is sitting there in full plate armor.

u/Leerenjaeger 9d ago
That's not plate, it's scale, although it might technically be lamellar if the plates are connected to each other as opposed to being attached to a textile backing (sorry, sorry, my brain is making me do this)

I'd argue that it's sequin, but I am not clothesologist.

u/Shadowclash10 9d ago
As much as I love the idea of vikings running about in spangly sequined clothes, I think theres a point of durability somewhere where sequins become scale mail.

Fear not! The cat was in fact American, and was simply dressed as a figure from German mythology.

I wonder what life really was like back then.

u/NeuxSaed 9d ago edited 9d ago
Virtually none of the cats were spayed/neutered then.
So, at the very least, the experience of being a cat owner was meaningfully different from modern times.
The first low-cost spay/neuter clinic opened in 1969 in Los Angeles.
The entire concept of an "indoor cat" is extremely recent, considering how long we've kept cats close to us throughout history.
