Cats have been alongside us for as long as we’ve been human. And at some point, cats became known to us as symbols, tiny cats became companions, obsessions, and some became our gods. I’m gonna introduce you to how this obsession unfolded. This is episode 5 of the History of Cats, that we know of!
A huge thanks to Gian and Josh for the fantastic editing!
