I'm always heartened by the good stuff people do for each other when called upon in times of distress:

It turns out they kept cats aboard the warships in WWI and WWII:

You've got to love the survival instinct of Oscar from the Bismarck (if true).
I also love the pictures of some of the cats in their little hammocks.

That's good stuff. Wonder if dogs would sleep in hammocks?
Wonder why they stopped bringing cats aboard ships? I can't believe that rats and mice would not seek out such a readily available supply of food? Guess the naval powers that be choose to put their faith in traps and poisons rather than the traditional feline controls..
