"A sailor attached to utility squadron VJ-4 plays with kittens that were discovered in an equipment room at U.S. Naval Air Station Squantum in Massachusetts, 1942." Original source is the National Archives but I found this in the book Cats in the Navy.

Polar sketches. Winter Quarters inside HMS Alert - the Wardroom, by Edward Lawton Moss, depicting the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-1876, commanded by Sir George Nares.

Another wardroom officer: the ship's cat.

I am reading Izzy & cat fic. And obviously kittens are cute and everyone coos over them, and everyone feeds them treats.

Of course, cats aren't idiots, they are opportunistic shits and fit right in with pirates. To the point of there being need of a "The Bastard Has Been Fed" bord in the gally because the cat is getting too fat to ride around on Izzy's shoulder comfortably.

They still fuck up a lot and give the cat extra treats and rations, but the situation improves somewhat after the board is put up.

Daryl and Marlin, our ship cats! It's Marlin's second season sailing (though he's been with us three years- got locked at the seaport last season for crimes) and Daryl's first! What sweet babies 💖

"Crowley wants to be a house husband." "Crowley wants to be a house wife." Nope.

Crowley wants to be a house cat. He just wants to lie in the sun and knock your water glass off the desk.

Guess who?

Plot: Leshy's being bullied by a bunch of followers and decides to hide, Yellow cat (Who I strongly want to HC name Femur) accidentally finds him while picking berries, that escalates to Leshy telling him his entire life story, as you do ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I decided to experiment with my formatting a bit, do you guys like this style of comic? It's much faster to produce than the usual more detailed ones I do.

In 1944 a kitten named George (short for General Electric) was saved from drowning by a U.S. Navy crew member. George was then photographed and given a liberty card and detailed health record. Source.

Just in time for Caturday: Cats in the Navy by Scot Christenson arrived in the mail.

It's a publication of the Naval Institute Press of the U.S. Naval Institute, I often visit their website for War of 1812 pictures and articles. Although this purports to be a (very non-academic) history of cats at sea, the focus is very 20th century and USA-centric. There is this tidbit though:

To track cats and identify vagrants that managed to slink onto ships without a medical exam, the Royal Navy once tried to implement a regulation requiring all mascot cats to wear collars embroidered with the name of the vessel to which they were assigned. Whether it was due to the cost of the collars or the realization that cats do not follow rules and would continue to change ships at will, the official collar regulation was short-lived.
