When the Romans brought Egyptian cats to Europe, they didn’t just import great pest control—they also carried the lingering aura of magic and mystery that had surrounded felines for centuries. But while Egypt revered them as sacred creatures, Europe took a much darker approach. From witch trials to bizarre folk rituals (some downright horrifying), cats became entangled in superstition, persecution, and even medieval horror stories.

Surprised you skipped over much of the medieval period to go to the late medieval / reformation period hatred of cats when for the rest of the period cats were loved. we have lots of Drawings in medieval manuscripts of Cats. Sometimes doing choirs like humans such as spinning yarn or even be a nun. And the church didn't hate them either at this time we got records of churches having cats, with my favorite being Pangur Ban.

With Pokemon being referenced in this series and Frederick the second I have to ask which Pokemon is the teams favourites?
