Not the least bit amusing...war never is...and barbaric?...bodies, plague riddled were hurled over city walls as instruments of war...

I’m a cat lover. The little purry-pet-me things give me a lot of joy, and torturing them with fire and pain is abhorrent to me.

As someone mentioned above, flaming arrows work just as well, and even better when besieging a citadel, since cats can’t leap over the walls.
