wrote a monk who discovered that overnight a cat had pissed on his manuscript https://io9.com/this-medieval-manuscript-curses-the-cat-who-peed-on-it-1502884468?f Not sure if this is the appropriate forum . . . . but where else would be a better fit? Move it, if there is one.

The comments are good too. Reminded me of a poem in an anthology done at O Level which included "Oh cat of churlish kind/ A fiend was in thy mind/ When thou my bird untwin'd and goes on to curse the cat really creatively - invokes the manticores of the mountains I seem to remember. Having done a quick search not found the full text but did find it was written in the 1400s.
