Medieval Cat Laws - Laws for your Medieval Cat

[@CambrianChronicles]

Hi everyone, just a quick correction and clarification to a question that has been raised a couple of times: “Couldn’t you just sell your cat for more/less?” The answer is yes, although this is my fault for misunderstanding the rigidity of the values presented. Their value is based on the price of compensation, and does not HAVE to be their buy/sell price, although several laws are tied to their buying and selling value, not just with cats, but with several animals (i.e. the qualities they need to be of full value, the refund entitled if they are deficient etc), you absolutely could buy/sell for more/less. So due to my own misunderstanding, the chapter about the value of the animals needs to be clarified that it is based on their stated value of compensation. And the final chapter needs another assumption, alongside the generous assumptions that the laws reflected local differences, and that you could buy and sell infinite geese and cats, we will assume that their legal value represents the general price you could expect, which in my opinion is a fair assumption for the nature of that chapter! Sorry for the mistake, and thank you to the kind and knowledgeable commenter who corrected me! Thanks for understanding.

The "worthless milk" thing sounds very much like they made a law that applied to animals that provide milk and some enterprising Welshman saw a loophole and milked their cat, dog, and/or horse to claim its benefit.

[@heiskanbuscadordelaverdad8709]

If you find a cat that lets you milk it you are indeed very lucky

[@05Matz]

Perhaps refunds on animals that 'provide milk' were limited, because the new owner was assumed to have extracted value during their ownership before the refund. Then somebody tried to claim this clause applied to a mammal not typically kept for its milk, and that passage was added to the law?

[@harkonen1000000]

@@heiskanbuscadordelaverdad8709 Perhaps it was to prevent accidents.

[@liam3284]

The situation is not as far fetched as it sounds. If you were a cat breeder, and you found a kitten abandoned or otherwise distressed, your nursing cat may accept the additional kitten. Given this, raising a kitten to a cat increases its value, in a dispute someone may claim the nursing mother cat was more valuable. This law appears to clarify that it is not.

I am not sure what they had against horse milk though, the Mongolians loved that stuff and even turned it into alcohol. Cat and dog milk sounds a lot less appetizing but if you can milk cows and goats, why not horses?

I may be American, but I recently started living and working on a rural piece of undeveloped farmland, and the owner said he had a terrible vole and mouse problem and to bring my cat. My one cat was nowhere near sufficient for the magnitude of voles entrenched in this 80 acre plot of near-wilderness, which I was expected to farm somehow. …I’ve since adopted four additional cats and am expanding the cat “barn” (a well-modified shed) for more. It is literally impossible to keep seedlings in fields growing or grain stores untainted without an army of cats doing passive pest control. Impossible. I tried everything short of using chemical pesticides (it’s an organic farm, not an option), it was like throwing chili powder and garlic at a tidal wave of rodents. Humanity would have starved without cats. They are _every_ bit as important to humanity’s historic survival as dogs were, but never get any credit. So here I am, an actual farmer, saying that we need cats to keep our food growing, and to keep us from catching things like the bubonic plague, which was spread by rats.

[@DrMFoster7]

Catching mice was really important back in this age. Surviving outside the harvest season relied heavily on keeping your food preserved, and the cool thing about grain is that it preserves essentially forever so long as it's dry and has no pests in it. Keeping it in a storehouse will keep it dry, but basically nothing will keep the vermin out except cats. Rats can chew through most anything given enough time, and they will smell your grains before they even see them.

[@soaringvulture]

The Egyptians figured that out long ago. That's why they had a cat god.

[@CambrianChronicles]

Glad to hear!

[@owenofhb8319]

Great information for someone who's just getting a cat.

[@CambrianChronicles]

Especially if you suddenly require 2-4 geese and are in medieval Wales also

Whenever you enter your home, show her some meat so that she thinks you are a good hunter!

KZbin suggested 2 am video content at 8 pm??? I'm so blessed

[@tomieortiz8184]

Thank you Cambrian Chronicles… came for the thumbnail, stayed for the ego altering, life changing information.

[@Robitron2084]

Conspiracy: the reason Wales was always at war was so the Rhyngyll could get a bunch of free cats

[@iratepirate3896]

I like to imagine they were part of an elaborate inter-kingdom conspiracy where all the Rhyngyll would secretly plot to wage a Forever War so that the supply of cats was kept high

[@Hand-in-Shot_Productions]

That would, indeed, be a bloody _and_ cute way of making money: to be a _rhingyll_ and a cat salesman at once during a war would make quite a fortune!

[@anschelsc]

Abut the "one third of four ceiniog" thing: my understanding is that in medieval times most people never actually used these coins. They were just units of account, keeping track of debts that would most likely be paid in grain, animals, crafts, etc. So it's not a huge problem to owe someone one and one-third ceiniog.

[@mareksicinski3726]

Yeah that was most of currency thru most of history

[@CuDoesThings]

This is your most unhinged video yet Sir Chronicles I shall await further unhinged deep dives into Welsh history with much anticipation. 10/10

[@CambrianChronicles]

Haha thank you, many more to come!

[@mojoxide]

@@CambrianChroniclesoh please, the bizarre and arbitrary specificity of these laws has me in stitches.

[@soaringvulture]

His other videos were hinged?

[@lactarius7781]

I honestly had a hard time believing they had this many laws specific to cats, so I looked up your source book on Archive, and it's all there!!! Incredible video

[@poetik7310]

I absolutely appreciate the transitions in this video. Perfect.

[@jackwalsh5850]

This channel is a treasure

[@CambrianChronicles]

Thank you very much!

[@davidfalterman8713]

I have one cat who would fetch full value in any part of wales-smart, strong, good at catching mice, the whole nine yards. And I have a second cat who is, uh…..trying his best 😂

[@Badficwriter]

My cat will literally lay there while mice run around her. Then go mew piteously at her bowl. Because she refuses to eat anything but her special food. And bugs.

[@slwrabbits]

is this second cat, perhaps, an orange tabby?

[@chocolatefrenzieya]

Is he orange?

[@davidfalterman8713]

@@chocolatefrenzieya He is a floofy black cat running orange cat software

@@davidfalterman8713 lol aww that's the best. :)

[@e.h.buchmann23]

Important historical discovery: in medieval Wales, the Cat Distribution System was not yet operational. 🙀 Also, if we'll be two washing machines, I'm sure there will be a cat watching our wash cycles with great fascination.

[@CambrianChronicles]

The cat-geese barter system seems to have been replaced by the much more efficient cat distribution system!

[@e.h.buchmann23]

@@CambrianChronicles There's nothing like a smll furry being rocking up to your home and deciding it now lives there. 😀Which makes me wonder: does Welsh folklore have anything like the Cait Sidhe in Ireland?

[@trianglemoebius]

​@@e.h.buchmann23 Welshman here: yes, we have the Cath Palug, which is just the Cait Sìth but in Welsh. Like how the "cat sí" is the Cat Sìth but in Irish. When people say "Irish" mythology, they really mean Celtic mythology, and we're as much Celts as the Scots and Irish are.

[@valienpire]

I wouldn't expect a cat video to be edited in any other way 10/10

[@DarkwaveMistress]

This is one of the greatest youtube content I have witnessed

[@ericfuchs123]

I always thought a duck was a quarter of a cat and I’m glad I’ve been proven correct.

[@mccoyfleming6664]

i’ve said it once and i’ll say it again: your transitions just keep hitting. so hard.

[@CambrianChronicles]

Thank you!

[@JimoftheSlim]

Of all the Jon Bois-ology of this channel, this is the Jon Bois-est. Fantastic editing and style, utterly bizarre and obscure yet universally interesting subject matter? This absolutely RULES.

[@a.t.6535]

Time to dust off the old time machine. I knew there was a use for this old thing! Thanks, Mr. Chronicles!

[@PiousMoltar]

I swear this is one of the funniest channels on KZbin. That editing. Keep it up. Oh, one of the most interesting and informative too, that almost goes without saying!

[@Amantducafe]

It is very esoteric that this is now linked to Garfield. Jim Davis, you really created a monster.

[@CambrianChronicles]

Garfield: the eternal being

[@jayg1438]

The last time I was this early the Roman legions were just arriving. Great video. One of the best I've ever seen on yputibe and I was here in year one. The comments section alone is going to be a treasure trove for years to come. Thank you 🎉

[@CambrianChronicles]

Thank you, I'm very glad you enjoyed the video!

[@liamobrien9451]

This is such an unserious video while being well researched, i love it

[@nuthinmuffins5073]

This may be the single greatest video in the entirety of the internet (probably not, but maybe!)! It has combined three of the topics I’m most interested in: U.K. history, cats, and time travel. I have actually liked, subscribed, and do indeed intend to share it with everyone I know, and possibly some I don’t. If they don’t get as giddy over it as I am, I will know they’re not worthy of my acquaintance. I may soon be a lonely person, but at least I’ll have this video. Meow, y’all, meow eternally.

I like how everyone is mentioning the infinite geese glitch but now when mentions the reverse trip and it's equally valuable infinite half a goat glitch

“The return policy of cats” is my new “price of tea in China”

[@philiphunt-bull5817]

First time of heard of this phrase

[@markwynne725]

"What has that got to do with the returns policy on cats?" I like it

[@Abdega]

Is “the price of cats in Wales” too direct?

[@cat21860]

@@Abdega Oh no, if anything it will indicate the “price of tea in China” reference more.

[@Hand-in-Shot_Productions]

And I think I'll work that into my vocabulary! "What does that have to do with the return policy of cats?"

[@andrewgutierrez4841]

Absolutely delightful. Watching this with my tortoise shell calico, Abby.

[@CambrianChronicles]

Glad you both enjoyed!

[@YouAintThatGuy]

I’ve been watching KZbin for so many years now, and I’ve never ever loved a video more

[@CambrianChronicles]

Thank you very much!

[@PinkGrapefruit22]

Instructions unclear. Acquired infinite cats through work as a Rhingyll but fell in love with each and everyone and therefore became incapable of selling them. Have had to sell all of my meat, butter, flax, corn, and hens just to feed and house all of my cats. Did not profit.

honestly might just be one of my favourite youtube videos ever
