There is a legend that cats were thrown down closed coal mines in England
during the Thatcher years by cruel people wanting to dispose of their pets.
According to the story, many years later, it was found that the cats had
survived the fall and had mutated into a community of blind cats with huge
ears
MOGGY ON THE MENU?
Tales of cat-eating are nothing new found in Charles Dickens' "The Pickwick
Papers" (1836/7) where Sam Weller tells Mr. Pickwick that he's heard about
pies made from kittens being sold on the London streets as ordinary meat
pies.
THE INCREDIBLE CABBIT
There is a long-standing myth that cats and rabbits can produce offspring
which are half-cat, half-rabbit and which are therefore called cabbits.
And if the mythical cabbit isn't an odd enough myth, there are always
"squittens" - squirrel-cat hybrids.
