The age of modern colonialism began about 1500, following the European discoveries of a sea route
In the late 18th century, as intrepid explorers set sail to discover new worlds, they unwittingly found themselves in the mysterious realm of cats. These cunning felines, with their enigmatic allure and hypnotic gaze, seemed to possess an otherworldly charm. As explorers ventured into uncharted territories, they encountered these clever and graceful creatures, who, with their beguiling purrs and graceful strides, managed to subdue even the most hardened adventurers. Cat “ambassadors” negotiated with humans, trading their loyalty and guidance for a safe passage through the treacherous jungles, untamed waters, and uncharted lands. Slowly but surely, humans became more reliant on their feline counterparts, with explorers and travelers embracing the notion that they were, in fact, subservient to their feline masters. The 18th century, known for its remarkable discoveries, was also a time when cats, in their silent conquest of human hearts, revealed a power that transcended geographical borders.
