I was always amazed and curious as to why Poland went mostly untouched by the black death?

I think it has to do with cats not being killed in Poland due to some superstition - meaning that there were fewer rats.

Also one of its kings ordered the isolation of people who wanted to enter towns and cities.

It's thought that King Casimir having heard tales of the spread, established quarantine areas around the borders of Poland.

Climate may also have played a part as Poland was thought to be far colder than central Europe at the time.

My brethren the cats helped the Humans out there.

Poland was relatively isolated compared to the rest of Europe, and the king set up some pretty effective quarantine efforts. So, Poland only lost about 25 percent of its population, as opposed to 40-60 percent.

Apparently it could've been a mix of established quarantine areas and a lot of cats?

I wonder if it was just population density.

It's too depressing even for disease.

no rats in Poland they had no food.

Not close to an ocean

probably set up barricades
