The Army That Couldn't Hurt a Cat 🐱 #shorts

Egypt lost a war because nobody dared to hurt a cat. 🐱

According to legend, when Persian king Cambyses II attacked Egypt at the Battle of Pelusium in 525 BC, he put cats and other sacred animals on the front line. Egypt's archers refused to shoot, and the gateway to Egypt fell.

The story comes from the ancient writer Polyaenus, so historians treat it as a legend, but it's too good not to tell.
