15. DON'T KILL YOUR CATS!!!

During that time period, people thought that large animals carried the disease, so they killed horses, cows, pigs, dogs, and most tragicly, cats. The Black Death is carried by a type of flea on black rats and they spread to humans. Then they bite their skins and the disease spreads very rapidly. It's like the flu: You sneeze at school, the whole class gets germs. You show up in a fur dress in the 14th century with fleas in it, the whole place gets the Black Death fleas lodged in their clothes. Nice thought, eh?
