According to de Gruyter and Thys, Königsberg (now Kaliningrad) in East Prussia was plagued by aninexplicable terror of extremely aggressive street cats in the coldest winter months at the end of the19th century. The stray cats, who mostly struck at nightfall, surrounded their victims, assaulted themand wounded them with their claws and sharp teeth. After such a brutal attack their victims showedsigns of psychotic behavior and high fevers, besides significant physical injuries. Several months later,these cats disappeared completely from the city.Moreover, according to de Gruyter & Thys, this was the prelude to the trials that the population ofKönigsberg had to endure 40 years later.
