CAT LEADS ROME MAN TO 2,000-YEAR-OLD CATACOMBS
By Kelli Bender Oct 18th 2012

We already know that cats have nine lives, but it turns out some have a sixth sense for finding ancient ruins too. According to The Guardian, a feline tracked down a 2,000-year-old catacomb and led a Rome man to the amazing discovery.

Cat Discovers Catacombs 4 510x600


Mirko Curti happened upon the piece of history while following a cat he spotted near his apartment building. Curti and his friend kept up with the kitty as the animal pawed its way through the rock cliffs of Via di Pietralata. Eventually, the feline ducked into a grotto, where Curti followed after the animal, listening for the cat's meows.

Once inside the small space, Curti realized he was surrounded by bones and niches used by Ancients Romans to hold urns. Archaeologists were brought to the area soon after. After an initial inspection, the professionals believe that the catacombs date back between 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD.
