Legion Cats

[Lucius Poblius]

For what it's worth, one of the first Spanish re-supply ships to the New World, or from the Conquest of Mexico, listed cats as important item of supply... from Bernal Diaz I think, off the top of my head. IF the hardened Conquistedores were scratching kitty kats behind their ears, it is not a leap to the same for the Roman army.

I would think they were important for keeping the rats under control, and wouldn't be the sort of cats you'd want to get put your hands near.

Or maybe as a supply of fresh meat :wink:
