Cats aren't what you would typically imagine when asked about law, let alone medieval law, but the history of Wales is full of oddities, and the medieval cat laws (Cyfreith Cath), are no exception.

Here we find laws deciding on their value, their jobs, and what their appearance should be.

Also, this Cambrian Chronicles video will serve as an excellent tool on how to become the number one cat salesperson in all of Welsh history.
