Cats terrorizing human items isn’t a new thing, nor is the Internet the only place where it is photographically documented. Molly, a.k.a. @CatsOfYore, a historian, shared a thread of various ancient art from various eras of human history, and you will see just how notaries cats have always been.

 

Mooly states in her Twitter bio that she loves feline art, photography, and history. These three definitely intersect in the thread she created.

And of course, the classic broken vase, which modern owners also experience often

What we learned is that cats have always been, and will always be, the troublemakers that they are, especially if you’re working.
