A farm in Montana has a barn cat named Earl who oversees the whole operation from the back of a cow he appears to have claimed as his own.
He rides her out to the field in the morning and sits up there for hours, watching the rest of the herd from above like a foreman.
The cow does not seem to mind. The farmer says Earl picked her out of a dozen others and will wait by the barn until that specific cow comes by to collect him.

A farm in Kentucky has a herd of goats that flat-out refuse to leave for pasture in the morning until the barn cat shows up to lead them.
Waffles strolls out whenever he feels like it, walks to the gate, and only then will the goats follow him through and up the lane.
If he sleeps in, they stand at the gate and wait. The farmer has tried opening the gate and walking them out himself and says it does not work. They are not going anywhere without the cat.

In 1898, a man laughed off the superstition that the first to leave a table of thirteen would be the first to die. He was shot dead a few weeks later. The Savoy Hotel has been seating a wooden cat at every table of thirteen ever since.
Woolf Joel was hosting a farewell dinner at the Savoy in London before sailing to South Africa. One guest cancelled, leaving thirteen. As Joel stood to leave, his friends reminded him of the old superstition. He laughed it off. Weeks later, he was shot dead in his office in Johannesburg.
The hotel's response was to commission a three-foot carved black cat named Kaspar. Since the 1920s, whenever a party of thirteen dines at the Savoy, Kaspar takes the fourteenth seat. A napkin is tied around his neck. He is served every course - on full Savoy china, with proper glassware and cutlery. Winston Churchill liked him so much he requested Kaspar at his table no matter how many guests were present.
Kaspar still dines at the Savoy today.

In 1420, a scribe in the Dutch city of Deventer sat down to continue his work and found that a cat had urinated all over his manuscript during the night. He did the only reasonable thing: he drew a picture of the cat and cursed it in Latin.
The scribe left the ruined page blank, sketched a small cat above the stain, and wrote: "Hic non defectus est, sed cattus minxit desuper nocte quadam" - which translates to something close to "Here is nothing missing - but a cat pi**ed on this page one night."
He wasn't done. Below that, he added a second note: "Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night in Deventer, and because of it many others too. And beware well not to leave open books at night where cats can come."
The manuscript - complete with cat drawing, urine stain, and Latin curse - is still preserved in the Historisches Archiv in Cologne, Germany. Six hundred years later, the cat remains unrepentant.

She sneezed again 10 minutes later. From across the room. While making eye contact. I think it was a power move.

For over 2,000 years, a 120-foot cat was lying on a hillside in the Peruvian desert and nobody noticed. The Nazca Lines - massive ancient geoglyphs carved into the desert plains of southern Peru - have been studied since the 1920s.
There are spiders, hummingbirds, monkeys, whales, geometric shapes. Hundreds of figures scratched into the earth by a civilization that vanished over a thousand years ago.
In October 2020, workers renovating a hillside lookout platform noticed faint lines in the dirt. Drone surveys confirmed what they were seeing: a cat, 120 feet long, lounging on its side with wide round eyes and a tail curling along most of its body.
Archaeologists dated it to the Late Paracas period, around 200 to 100 BC - making it older than most of the famous Nazca figures. Erosion and centuries of foot traffic had blurred the lines almost to nothing. It had been there the entire time.
