Ship’s Cats The Compost Bin of History
-
- Science
Argh, ye feline free-booters, ye viking rat-slayers, ye most god forsaken of grumpycats, this be the podcast for you!
Hosts James and Jared examine the history of the ship's cat, dovetailing between divine grace and evolutionary biology. They track the spread of the domestic cat (Felis catus L.) as it evolved from the African wild cat (Felis lybica Forster) and was quickly adopted as an important ally in the burgeoning maritime trades. Why is this animal, shrouded in superstition, perfect for sailors? Learn how the polydactyl gene makes magical creatures into practical demigods. Then, famous ship's cats! Check out the PATRIOT HERO cats of WWII, turncoat cats, and cat-omens!
If a cat abandons your boat?!?! bruh.
It's the pat-reon - $1/lunar cycle - it's really not that much!
