It's so funny to me that cats wiggled their way into humanity by keeping grain safe, mimicking baby cries, and generally being fluffy and cute companions

Cats: walking all over our shit for 4000 years.

Some days, man hasn’t changed, and I weep in sorrow.

Others man has not changed, and I weep harder still.

I have a folder called Time is a Flat Circle in which I collect evidence of humanity. Here is most of them.

A satirical papyrus showing a lady mouse being served wine by a cat while another cat dresses her hair, a third cares for her baby, and a fourth fans her. The mice have hilarious huge, round ears.

This 14th century door at Exeter Cathedral, UK, is thought to be the oldest existing cat flap.

A cat was paid a penny each week, to keep down the rats and mice in the north tower, and a cat flap was cut into the door below the astronomical clock to allow the cat to carry out its duties.

Records of payments were entered in the Cathedral archives from 1305 to 1467, the penny a week being enough to buy food to supplement a heavy diet of rodents.
