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.

In a small fishing village on the Galician coast, a cat named Pepe has been boarding the same wooden fishing boat at 4 in the morning, every morning, for the past eleven years. The boat's owner is in his sixties. He gave up trying to stop him after the first six months.
The other fishermen at the harbor mocked the arrangement for years. Last spring, a few of them presented Pepe with a custom-sewn miniature life jacket in the same orange as the regulation ones, with his name stitched along the bottom.
They meant it as a joke. Pepe now refuses to leave the dock without it. If the boat owner forgets it at home, Pepe will not board, and he will sit at the edge of the pier looking at the boat until someone goes back to retrieve it.
The owner says Pepe keeps lookout from the bow and has not once fallen in.

A volunteer fire station in a small town in eastern Tennessee has a resident cat named Captain who has lived in the bay for nine years. Two months ago a younger stray turned up and refused to leave, and the chief eventually gave him a name (Probie) and a food bowl.
Captain has since been observed physically blocking Probie from the pole, from the trucks, from the kitchen, and from a specific armchair in the day room.
Probie sleeps on a folded jacket on the floor next to the armchair. The chief has hung a hand-lettered sign on the back of the armchair that reads "CAPTAIN'S CHAIR - DO NOT MOVE THE CAT."
A new probationary firefighter started last week and also made the mistake of sitting in it. He has not done so again.
