What event in history had people hysterically killing of cats?
There is one event, which is the Black Death, or Bubonic Plague in medieval times. People believed that the cats carried the plague, but they made a big mistake in killing off the cats. The cats were natural predators of rats, the actual carriers of the plague. Decrease of cats means increase of rats, plague, and victims.
What was the result of Londoners killing thousands of the city's cats and dogs?
During the great plague of London in 1665, tens of thousands of dogs and cats were killed out of fear they were the source of the contamination. The plague was actually carried by fleas on rats so killing the domestic animals known to kill rats, actually worsened the situation.

Vaccines and burning cats and dogs carrying the fleas. Later The Great Fire of London helped too.

Are Black cat Protectors the Egypt?
They don't have to be black cats. Also, cats aren't really "protectors" they just keep away the evil spirits of the dead and also keep away Anubis who is basicly a dog....thing....it tells you in the first "The Mummy" movie :D The only instince where a black cat has significance would be Halloween. But the origin of the Black Cat has nothing to do with Halloween, it refers to the time of The Black Plague. A theory that the dying people came up with was that cats were the cause of the horrid disease. Because the people wanted to stop the Bubonic Plague, they killed any cat they could find. The "Black" cat part is because the Bubonic Plague is also known as the "Black" Plague, thus the Black Cat came about. It was considered bad luck if a black cat crossed your path because it would mean that you would get the Bubonic Plague.

How do you get the black plague?
Plague is a disease that is spread by the fleas of infected rats. If you can kill all the rats, you can slow down the spread of plague. Unfortunately, the highly superstitious people of the middle ages associated cats with witchcraft with the devil, so many towns killed all their cats - which allowed rats to take over, and the plague came with them. So if you don't have plague, leave town and live in a cottage with lots of cats. You'll be safe from plague. Until the villagers come to burn down your house, because of all the cats.....
What animal helped stop the Plague?
i think they used blind puppies to 'stop' the plague Cats - once they were reestablished (they had been outlawed as "witches' familiars"), since cats kill rats and rats spread the Plague.
