Why Cats Make Such Good Internet Mysteries
Cats already have an unusual cultural image.
They’re independent, difficult to predict, and capable of appearing completely fascinated by something humans can’t see.
That makes them perfect subjects for supernatural stories.
Add the name of a famous historical prophet, and you have a headline almost guaranteed to attract attention.
But popularity doesn’t turn an entertaining story into historical evidence.

Nostradamus remains interesting even when individual viral claims don’t hold up.
His writings provide a window into how people in the 16th century thought about uncertainty, fate, war, disease, politics, and the future.
More than 450 years later, we’re still doing something remarkably similar.
We still look at uncertain events and search for patterns.
We still want to know what’s coming next.
And we still enjoy mysterious stories
