Surprising History: When Pope Gregory IX was in power (1227-1241), he declared in his decree Vox in Rama that cats (especially black cats) are associated with devil worship, fueling anti-cat sentiment. Cats were not subservient and tended to be noisy at night, which cause them to be viewed with suspicion. Large Numbers of cats and their owners were executed after being accused of witchcraft in the years leading up to the Black Plague.
There are theories that the disappearance of those cats, as the natural urban predator of rats, helped spread the bubonic plague that killed hundreds of millions of people in the 1300s.
Cats are Evil? Heroes? You be the Judge!
