This week in strange company.
Plus, of course, cats.

"Della is not well": A genealogist unearths a long-forgotten tragedy.

The sad case of Julia Pastrana, "The Bearded Lady."

When the President met the Pirate.
Most unholy: A look back at the only American priest to be executed for murder.
The lost pets of 18th century London.
