Wonderful deep dive into cat history across Asia. Emperor Uda's love letter is probly the most charming historical document I've encountered in awhile. The connection between the 1602 decree and silk trade economics is a perfect example of how utilitarian concerns shaped cultural attitudes toward animals.
Love 💗 it,😽
Fabulous history 🐈⬛
