Exeter Cathedral, Home Of The World’s Oldest Cat Door

from Cool Weird Awesome with Brady Carlson · host Brady Carlson

There's a cathedral in southwestern England with a remarkable medieval astronomical clock, and on a door that leads into the workings of this clock there's a small medieval hole that carpenters cut so that the cathedral's cat could go in and out while on mouse patrol. Of course people in modern times love it. Plus: for National Day in Seychelles, the story of the world's smallest national park.
