The first deep sea ship that I sailed on in 68 M/V Tintagel Castle had a ships cat, it had been given to the ship by a children's primary school in South Africa from either Port Elizabeth or East London( I forget which) When ever the ship was in port there a lot of the children would do a ships visit. The cat seemed to prefer being at sea as to in port I think he hated the disruption and general mayhem of dockers and cargo handling which curtailed his daily tours of the open main deck.
