I finally got to see this very old cat door 🐈‍⬛

According to Exeter Cathedral, the cat door was cut for the Bishop's cat to catch mice, between 1598 & 1621 🚪

Records show that a cat was paid 1d per week in food when on mouse/rat catching duties 🐀

The daisy was selected by the doubting maiden who is wishful to test the fidelity of her lover ❤️

"She commenced plucking the petals off, and said with each one: Does he love me? Does he love me not? 🌼

The last petal decided the answer." 🔮

(Trevelyan • 1909)
