British History, Monday
Jon hadn't bothered looking professional today. His clothes were well-put-together but rumpled, his hair looked like he'd been running his fingers through it repeatedly, and he was very obviously tired.
He was almost smiling, though, his face softer than it usually got. This could probably be explained by the...guest speakers? interactive exhibit?
Kittens and cats. There were enough for every student to have several, and until the students settled, Jon was perfectly happy being a jungle gym and furniture for all of them.
"It's believed that humans domesticated cats at least four millennia ago, possibly as long ago as ten or twelve. The first evidence of cats in Britain comes with the Romans around two millennia ago, and the cats mercifully stayed longer than the Romans did. Since then they've had an occasionally rocky history, at times being blamed for witchcraft or plague, but mostly growing up alongside civilisation, being mousers and vermin-hunters and companions. There are currently over 8.5 million pet cats in the UK. And today is International Cat Day, so we're going to learn and experience what makes them so wonderful, and give some of them the praise and worship they deserve."
