That particular “bizarre looking cats in medieval” image has a rather complicated subtext (as-‘purr’ a cat carrying a penis might be).

Next via ‘fleisch’ also meaning carnal interest travels through the Catholic meatless fridays, and fetches up as the depicted nun seeking a hiatus from her sexual abstinence and/or ‘looking for love’ (a fish for a penis; plus the penis crucifix) …go figure. one of many references and (be ye wary) reddit
