Some people are dog people, and some are cat people. When it comes to seafarers and the Navy, they are most definitely cat people. So much so that cats are time-honored passengers aboard ships of all types, and their habit of sailing alongside humans can be dated back to antiquity.
The day-to-day life of a ship's cat doesn’t vary very much from one on land. They wake up, stretch and go about their business much like a cat on land, deciding when and where they will decide to notice the humans around them, or not.
And so starts the legend of Unsinkable Sam. An ordinary cat who defied extraordinary odds at sea to live a long and healthy life.
