Happy Kallibunker Day! The story of the Cornish Rex begins on 21st July, 1950 in Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, England. A tortoiseshell cat owned by Mrs Nina Ennismore gave birth to a litter of five kittens. One red & white coloured kitten in this litter had an unusual curly coat. The kitten was named Kallibunker & was to become the founder of the Cornish Rex breed.

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."
-Nelson Mandela, born this day in 1918
Happy birthday to Dr. John Dee, Britain's real 007, born this day in 1527. 🎂🎉🥳
Today marks the anniversary of Kett's Rebellion (UK, 1549), a revolt in response to the enclosure of land by wealthy landowners, which left peasants with nowhere to graze their animals. Yeoman farmer Robert Kett led a force of 16,000 which took over the city of Norwich and held out for nearly 2 months, defeating a siege from the Royal Army in the process. Today the story of the uprising lives on as an inspirational tale of everyday resistance to unjust power and greed.
