At the dawn of civilization, warring tribes of cats laid siege to the great cat cities, forcing rulers to build fortified kingdoms with deadly defensive capabilities. One such example is the ancient city of Meowsopotamia, which repelled invaders with a battery of elaborately carved water cannons.

I love the steely gaze of the cat gunner.
You can’t defend yourself without that steely gaze.
Mike, well-spotted ancient Mesopotamian art! Looks Assyrian to me.
Looks like the Lion Court at the Alhambra. Well worth a visit although I didn’t see any actual cats.
Meowsopotamia! Hahaha.
You sure that’s not The Trojan Cat? Doesn’t work as well as a Trojan Horse. Once a Trojan Cat gets inside a fortress it immediately asks to go out!
