Its actually a smart idea to have cats there. They are good guardians and protectors of the site. Imagine all the vermin that could burrow and dig away at the foundations and ruin what is there. The cats are their main predators and are a form of pest control. Not only that they keep the vermin population at bay which causes disease in a city like that.

[@Rockhound6165]

I'm such a history nut that this stuff fascinates me. It's hard to imagine that here in America, historical places have been around for 250 years or so, 300 at best but these places in Europe have been around for thousands of years.

[@ltahoe9257]

Natives would say otherwise. Don't insult them by saying America only started existing 300 years.

[@Rockhound6165]

@@ltahoe9257 Fun Fact: They're not natives. They migrated here just like everyone else and to imply otherwise is an intellectual dishonesty.

[@ltahoe9257]

@@Rockhound6165 lol one is native to where they were born. And given that they emigrated here thousands of years ago with their generations being in this land for far longer than Europeans cared to cross an ocean I think we can call them Native Americans. Their history on this land is more than thousands of years old. But you missed my point in my previous comment. You are correct in that historical places in the US have only been around for 300 or so years BUT ONLY historical to European immigrants. I'm counting the Mayflower and everyone after that as the "European Immigrants". The natives don't necessarily have what we would consider "historical" but they had something similar, they had sacred places which the US government didn't care an iota to respect. You're a history buff, you should know.

[@Rockhound6165]

@@ltahoe9257 OK so what you are saying is that I'm Native American then, right? Anyhoo, they came here first. We came next and conquered them. Been the same story since time immemorial. In fact, Indian tribes were in a constant state of war with each other over land and resources. So don't give me this stolen land bullcrap when they were stealing each other's land since day one. We were just better at it.

[@ltahoe9257]

@@Rockhound6165 congrats for being THAT person. Go around and tell people you're a Native American 🌟. And as with the stolen land, sure they were battling each other but the thirst for power and world domination was no where near the thirst Europeans had. With that being said, the US IS getting stolen, slowly welp maybe fast. We have immigrants galore and the European immigrants will be a minority eventually. Like you said, same story. Would be a bummer if future generations knock down our historical places. Imagine Mt. Rushmore and the likes being crumbled to pieces.
