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.....
