Cat tracks through the centuries

By Jack Brummet, Cat Editor


Emir O. Filipovic at the University of Sarajevo's History Department  was working on a 15th century manuscript when he ran across this medieval cat paw prints.  Yes, unlike dogs, we have let cats walk all around us through the ages.  This cat, sometime in the 1400s, either stepped in an inkpot or on a freshly lettered patch of the manuscript.  All in all, it's probably a good embellishment.
