Cats were about 10,000 ya. We didn't need cats until we had loads of harvested grains to protect from rodents.

Aww.. Could we have another one? About beer?

Beer is was used instead of water to prevent bacteria from growing in the water, or at least that's what we tell the wives, no idea if it's true or not.

It was also invented before bread was afair ๐Ÿ˜

In the viking age in Norway, all farmers were required by law to brew beer two times a year. They could be fined if they didn't do it in time.
