In the rolling hills of Wales, cats have been a beloved companion for centuries. Did you know that ancient Welsh manuscripts depict cats as sacred animals? In fact, the 12th century manuscript 'The Book of Aneirin' features intricate illustrations of cats alongside gods and goddesses! It's no wonder then, that the Welsh Cat Association was founded in 1962 to promote the welfare of felines across Cymru. And did you know that the famous Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas, was an avid cat lover? His own feline muse, 'Gogit', inspired many a verse and stanza! Today, cats are still cherished in Wales, with many households proudly displaying their feline friends on doorsteps and windowsills, where they can watch the world go by. So next time you're strolling through the streets of Cardiff or Swansea, keep an eye out for these whiskered wonders!
