Cat armour has a long and complex, but obscure history. (notes in post) Modern Antiques or Ethnography (~1800 AD or later)

by

From time to time, cats were highly useful in wartime scenarios. For example, they could fit through small openings and scale various walls using their nimble footwork and sharp claws. Other times, they might serve as stealthy messengers when enemy surveillance was high. They didn’t always wear armor, of course, but sometimes it was appropriate to the situation.
