Medieval Cat Paw Prints

Does your cat walk all over your desk? It's' nothing new, cats have been walking all over humans since, like, forever as this photo from Emir O. Filipovic of the University of Sarajevo's History Department shows. Emir was working on a 15th century manuscript when he ran across this medieval cat paw prints: Link - via The Weasel King


What I love is that we can identify that they are cat paw prints after 600 years. After coming across some puma tracks a month ago, I researched the defining features: outside pads different shapes and lengths, scallop on the rear pad, concave rear pad at the center of the paw, no claw marks, wider than it is long.
