Just prior to this,early 1300’s, England was having a big problem with stray cats, so it got all the people to kill the cats. No more cats. The rats then became the problem and with them the flees. Also the old nursery song “Ring around the rosie” came from the black death.

another cat myth...I’ve heard it before, but the last time it was blamed for the plague when they were killing witches, about two hundred years later and it was called the plague of London...except that plague was not Bubonic plague.

The plague started in China, spread with Ghengis Khan and ended up in Iceland.

I don’t think killing a few stray cats would make a difference...
