Episode 85: Cats - Ancient Egypt and Medieval Europe

This episode is dedicated to my cat, Louis! King Louis the most well dressed cat ever.
Cats in Ancient Egypt were practically worshipped and those in Medieval Europe were seen as the devil. Let's dive into an episode centered around one of the world's favorite animals.
