Cat sadness... sent on August 07, 2024 (0:33) by Warszawski. 37 comments, 629 views.

The cat world through the centuries: “I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely greater.” Hippolyte Taine (1828-1893) - French philosopher, historian.* He was worshiped by the ancient Egyptians, which the Persians took advantage of when they occupied Egypt in 525 B.C. They attached cats to their shields and discouraged the Egyptians from resisting. In ancient China and Japan, it was the embodiment of evil, but this did not stop the Chinese from making medicines from various parts of the cat's body. Indians respect cats. They called Muhammad the father of cats. However, the worst times occurred in medieval Europe. It all started with Pope Gregory IX, who in 1233, in the bull Vox in Rama, considered the cat to be a "servant of the devil". Mainly black cats were indicated, but soon the color ceased to matter... This death sentence meant that cats were killed and exterminated until the 19th century. Another pope, Innocent VII, allowed cat sacrifices during folk festivals. On days such as All Saints' Day, Christmas and Good Friday, they were burned or buried alive, hanged and quartered. Their ashes were then collected and scattered in the house and in the field to protect against disease, poverty and hunger. In many Catholic countries, thousands of cats were killed in this way. In Belgium, until 1817, there was a cruel custom of throwing them from a tower as a sign of breaking with pagan practices. The cats were smashed against the stones. King Louis XIII of France was fond of cats, and Louis XIV burned them alive. Napoleon hated them and Leonardo da Vinci considered them a work of art. The English have the Dickin Medal, the equivalent of the Victoria Cross, a British war decoration awarded for acts of bravery on the battlefield. This medal is awarded to animals. It was given to Simon the cat, a crew member of the ship Amethyst patrolling the Yangtze River in 1948 during the Chinese Civil War, but that's a completely different story. And that's cat sadness. The photo shows my 10-year-old Niusia ************************** Il mondo dei gatti attraverso i secoli: “Ho studiato molti filosofi e molti gatti. La saggezza dei gatti è infinitamente più grande.” Hippolyte Taine (1828-1893) - Filosofo e storico francese Era venerato dagli antichi egizi, di cui approfittarono i persiani quando occuparono l'Egitto nel 525 a.C. Attaccarono i gatti ai loro scudi e scoraggiarono gli egiziani dal resistere. Nell'antica Cina e Giappone era l'incarnazione del male, ma ciò non impediva ai cinesi di produrre medicinali da varie parti del corpo del gatto. Gli indiani rispettano i gatti. Chiamavano Muhammad il padre dei gatti. Tuttavia, i tempi peggiori si sono verificati nell'Europa medievale. Tutto ebbe inizio con papa Gregorio IX, che nel 1233, nella bolla Vox in Rama, considerava il gatto un “servo del diavolo”. Venivano indicati principalmente gatti neri, ma presto il colore smise di avere importanza... Questa condanna a morte fece sì che i gatti venissero uccisi e sterminati fino al XIX secolo. Un altro papa, Innocenzo VII, consentiva sacrifici di gatti durante le feste popolari. Nei giorni come Ognissanti, Natale e Venerdì Santo venivano bruciati o sepolti vivi, impiccati e squartati. Le loro ceneri venivano poi raccolte e sparse in casa e nei campi per proteggersi dalle malattie, dalla povertà e dalla fame. In molti paesi cattolici migliaia di gatti furono uccisi in questo modo. In Belgio, fino al 1817, esisteva la crudele usanza di gettarli da una torre in segno di rottura con le pratiche pagane. I gatti furono schiacciati contro le pietre. Il re Luigi XIII di Francia amava i gatti e Luigi XIV li bruciò vivi. Napoleone li odiava e Leonardo da Vinci li considerava un'opera d'arte. Gli inglesi possiedono la Medaglia Dickin, l'equivalente della Victoria Cross, una decorazione di guerra britannica assegnata per atti di coraggio sul campo di battaglia. Questa medaglia viene assegnata agli animali. È stato regalato al gatto Simon, un membro dell'equipaggio della nave Amethyst che pattugliava il fiume Yangtze nel 1948 durante la guerra civile cinese, ma questa è una storia completamente diversa. E questa è la tristezza del gatto. La foto mostra la mia Niusia di 10 anni
