How can I tell the difference?

Well judging my the human-like features of the face, I’d say this cat is between somewhere between Galileo and Mozart. Animals didn’t lose their human faces until well after the enlightenment era . You see this show up in depictions of all barnyard creatures or otherwise.

Ok. So if it has a cat face: it might be Renaissance or it is newer but it surely isn't medieval.
The other way around: if it has a human like face it is medieval or Renaissance.

Noted.

Makes you wonder how many cats from the 20th century are left, if any :/

Nah, this one isn't autobiographical lol. Charlotte and Emily are 10

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They're still looking good. Emily smiling in her sleep, dreaming of scritches and full food bowls, maybe.

Thanks 🫶🏼

And yeah, she gets plenty of both but never seems to get tired of either 😁🥰

Wait... did I miss my cat's quinceañera?? Oh no. It was supposed to be last August, and I totally spaced. Do you think he'll notice if I just do it on his 16th birthday?

Follow up question: do boy cats get quinceañeras?
