no there are certainly examples of cat purges, for assorted reasons but primarily because as I said they just didn’t have the knowledge and needed to blame things. “large numbers” is relative, most are scattered examples with less than 100 cats killed. I know that is a large number of cats but I’m talking relative to the total cat population.
