3 Take Care Of The Ships Cat

Ships have commonly sailed with cats on board since ancient times. The primary role of a ship’s cat was to catch and kill rodents on the boat to prevent them from gnawing on wood, ropes and later on electrical wiring. Cats would also prevent vermin from eating food stores or damaging cargo like grains. Rodents also carried and spread diseases, such as the Black Death.

Because cats helped control the rodent problem on ships and also provided a sense of companionship, cats were believed to bring good luck. If a ship’s cat came up to a sailor, that was a good omen. If the cat approached and then turned away, it was a bad omen. For this reason, seafarers kept their ship’s cats well-fed and content. Wives of fishermen sometimes kept black cats at home to protect their husbands while at sea.

While some of the good luck associated with cats on ships was based in reason, other superstitions surrounding ship’s cats were not. Some mariners believed that cats had magical powers stored in their tails that could control the weather. Cats were believed to protect ships from storms, but also to summon storms if the cat fell or was thrown overboard. If the ship did not sink during the storm, it was cursed with bad luck for nine years.

Sailors also believed a few other unusual nautical superstitions surrounding cats:

– A ship’s cat sneezing meant that it was going to rain.

– A frisky ship’s cat was an omen of a windy day.

– A ship’s cat that licked its fur against the grain signaled that a hailstorm was on its way.

While these sailors’ superstitions may sound absurd, they are actually somewhat based in reality. Due to their sensitive inner ears, cats are able to detect changes in weather more acutely than other animals. Cats can sense the low atmospheric pressure that often comes before storms at sea, and this may cause them to act restless or nervous.

As Churchill prepared to step off Prince of Wales, Blackie approached. Churchill stooped to bid farewell to Blackie, and the moment was photographed and reported in the world media. In honour of the success of the visit, Blackie was renamed Churchill.[19]

Blackie survived the sinking of Prince of Wales by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service later that year, and was taken to Singapore with the survivors. He could not be found when Singapore was evacuated the following year and his fate is unknown.[20]
