A satirical papyrus showing a lady mouse being served wine by a cat while another cat dresses her hair, a third cares for her baby, and a fourth fans her. The mice have hilarious huge, round ears.

This 14th century door at Exeter Cathedral, UK, is thought to be the oldest existing cat flap.

A cat was paid a penny each week, to keep down the rats and mice in the north tower, and a cat flap was cut into the door below the astronomical clock to allow the cat to carry out its duties.

Records of payments were entered in the Cathedral archives from 1305 to 1467, the penny a week being enough to buy food to supplement a heavy diet of rodents.

Andrew Wyeth (PA, USA, 1917-2009)

Miss Olson, 1952

Tempera on panel

Private Collection, currently on display at Brandywine Museum of Art

“Four years after Andrew Wyeth made Christina Olson iconic in Christina's World (MOMA), he created this tender portrait of her. With extraordinary sensitivity to a seemingly straightforward subject—a woman and a cat in the corner of a worn room—he invites us to reflect on the stories this person and place could tell.”

Smile like Smilodon, because it’s Fossil Friday! This saber-tooth cat roamed the Americas during the Pleistocene, and went extinct some 10,000 years ago. Scientists estimate that its signature teeth, which could reach lengths of 7 in (18 cm), grew at the rapid speed of .24 in (6 mm) per month—double the growth rate of an African lion’s teeth. To unsheathe these knife-like canines, Smilodon could open its jaws twice as wide as today’s big cats.

You can spot this fearsome predator in the Museum’s Hall of Primitive Mammals. We're open daily from 10 am–5:30 pm! Plan your visit.

My favorite local museum has this painting in their collection but it is NEVER on display. Every year we ask and every year it's still languishing in storage. Criminal. Thinking of starting a strongly worded petition. Unknown artist, 1883. Link.
