Why HHC?

Happy History Cats is for people who want to hear a happy or cool story from history. We don’t dwell on wars, death, destruction, political mayhem, or the latest humanitarian turmoil. Just affirmations that the world- or at least the history of it- doesn’t have to suck the hope from you.

We’ll look at people, events, movements, and all will- we hope- put a smile on your soul.

Also, we’ll have the occasional story about cats. Cats in history or maybe one of our cats.

We hope these few minutes of your time will remind you that there is, in fact, lots of happiness in history and in modern life. It’s out there, so just look past all the junk. You’ll find it.
