Yes, cats were basically ancient superheroes with a serious fan club. They even had to be treated nicely or you'd owe a hefty fine. Fancy, huh?

Those tricky Inquisition days tried to blame cats for all things spooky, but these fluffy fluffballs bounced back hard. Fast-forward to Salvador Dalí’s iconic photo with cats flying and splashy water - an all-time classic of surreal cat craziness. Fun fact: it took 26 tries to nail the shot!
