1,200 years ago, a cat in Jerusalem left the oldest known evidence of 'making biscuits' on a clay jug

A stone with a cat's paw imprinted in it.

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have discovered a 1,200-year-old jug fragment with the imprint of a small cat "making biscuits," the oldest evidence of a kitty kneading on record.

The team suspects the cat left its paw print when a potter left the freshly made jug to dry in the sun before firing it in a kiln. The jug's surface would have still been moist and malleable for a time, in perfect condition to immortalize a feline passerby.
