04 Cats of the Harbour and beyond

In episode four of the podcast we talk all about the cats of ASOIAF and our world. What function has cats had in our world historically, and how does that parallel ASOIAF? Are there cats in mythology and religion (in ASOIAF and irl)? Is Ser Pounce the true hero of the story? Join us on a feline trip through ASOIAF and history!
