Reply to comment by Rear-gunner in Were cats really seen as demons in medieval times? by Rear-gunner
It depends, my former cats and friends cats varied from playing with mice to taking on badgers and foxes. The panther owned by my ex bf parents would tackle anything on his territory. My old ginger was big enough to take on rats and even stole next doors canary and brought it into my kitchen to slaughter in the night.
I said vermin..rats, mice, insects, snakes..

I thought they were happy to use them as they kept vermin down, especially important in farming communities

Reply to TIL that an unknown 19th century Japanese artist painted a parody of the sacred scene of the Buddha's death that is commonly called the "Penis Paranirvana", in which the dying Buddha is replaced by a giant anthropomorphic penis being mourned by women and other penises. by JosephvonEichendorff
Ok even for Japanese art that's odd. This is the country that has the Fisherman's Wife
