the plague
"Black Death-
During the mid-14th century, from about 1347 to 1350, the Black Death, a massive and deadly pandemic, swept through Eurasia, killing approximately one third of the population (according to some estimates) and changing the course of Asian and European history. It is estimated that anywhere from a quarter to two-thirds of Europe's population became victims to the plague, making the Black Death the largest death toll from any known non-viral epidemic. While accurate statistical data do not exist, it is estimated that 1/4 of England's population, totaling 4.2 million, died while a higher percentage of individuals likely died in Italy. Northeastern Germany, Bohemia, Poland and Hungary, on the other hand, are believed to have suffered less while there are no estimates for Russia or the Balkans at all."

The Black Death, also known as pneumonic plague, a very deadly variant of bubonic plague. Bubonic plague was brought to Europe by the fleas on the Asian black rat.
Because some religious groups put the blame for the plague on cats, they killed the cats that would have killed the rats.

You've already got the answer from the previous three people. However, it's the bubonic, not pneumonic plague.
