The Dark History of Cats From
Witchcraft to Feline FrenzyAs
we celebrate our feline
friends today its hard to
believe that just a few
centuries ago cats were
considered an enemy of sorts
During the Middle Ages cats
were often associated with
witchcraft and superstition
ran rampant In fact on St
Johns Day June 24th people
would gather to commit a most
heinous act stuffing cats into
sacks and tossing them into
bonfires Yes you read that
right bonfiresBut why the
feline frenzy Some believe it
was a way for people to purge
their communities of perceived
evil while others think it was
simply a cruel form of
entertainment Whatever the
reason this dark tradition
persisted throughout medieval
EuropeAnd if you thought
things couldnt get any worse
think again On holy days
people would take their feline
hatred to new heights
literally Church towers became
the stage for an eerie
spectacle cats were tossed
from great heights often
meeting a grisly end This
morbid display was likely
fueled by schadenfreude that
twisted thrill of watching
others suffer or
misfortuneSchadenfreude is
that delightful German word
that roughly translates to
pleasure derived from someone
elses misery And let me tell
you these medieval catthrowers
were masters of the artAs we
reflect on this dark period in
history its essential to
remember the enduring bond
between humans and cats Today
we celebrate our feline
friends as beloved companions
rather than objects of
derisionSo next time youre
tempted to indulge in a little
schadenfreude perhaps while
watching cat videos take a
moment to appreciate the
journey these magnificent
creatures have taken from
bonfires to snuggleup
boxesSources The History of
Cats and Their Association

and our voices for the felines
whove suffered at the hands of
human cruelty

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
