When the White Star liner RMS Celtic wrecked in 1928, the ship was evacuated, but the cat, Emily, refused to leave. She and her kittens stayed onboard for a few days, being fed on "fish, cream, and condensed milk" until they could be taken ashore. Emily's plight managed to make the New York Times.
(Found in The 'Big Four' of the White Star Fleet: Celtic, Cedric, Baltic, and Adriatic by Mark Chirnside)

I have never had a cat, but I think they are endlessly fascinating. And there’s no better feeling in the world than when a cat chooses you.

I am in tears over this
It honestly makes my heart so happy to see people laughing at 69 and cat jokes in 1944 the same way we do in 2023
