Grumpy Cat Responds to the Medieval Cat-Print Manuscript

-For an update on this post and for links to information about the person who took the original manuscript photo, see this post.

 

Erik Kwakkel recently popularized an image of a medieval manuscript discovered by Emir O. Filipovic of the University of Sarajevo’s History Department. The manuscript contained the paw-prints of a medieval cat, left in ink, and some are now speculating that the prints were left by The Medieval Grumpy Cat.

Grumpy Cat does not approve.

For a more serious treatment of both the cat paw-print manuscript and the cat pee manuscript see this excellent post on Erik Kwakkel’s blog.

See my followup post for more funny images, even if they aren’t Grumpy Cat related.

    Dear God! This silly post has more views than most of my other posts combined. It certainly has more shares than all of my posts combined. I don’t know whether to be elated or depressed. Maybe just grumpy?

      Ha! That was my favorite too. Thought about using him instead of Grumpy Cat originally–definitely wouldn’t have gotten the same exposure though.

      -In all honesty, I can’t tell if the woodcut cat looks grumpy, angry, skeptical, lazy, or stoned.
