This One Stik , looks familiar :

 She looks just like our ships cat ! The one who gave us the laughs when the ship would roll . She never seemed to time her jumps right in a moderate sea ! A stormy sea ? She stayed on top of the engineers desk then .

Gene - can see why you are so fond of her....she's a beauty, and can tell she knows it and uses it to advantage.

TB - have had a couple like that, one that loved to crawl into my coat, turn around and peer out at the world, and the wife taught him to give high fives.  He was left pawed to boot.

You guys are right...people have dogs, cats have staff. 

Have several, one comes in when she decides she wants a belly rub.

My lady has a standard poodle as her service dog (diabetic alert), haven't had a dog around for about 10 years now (last one was a Samoyed), and having to learn dogs all over again.

 Goldhammer,  I had a Persian who would retrieve.  She had me well trained.  Staff indeed!

Tanker-Builder, 
    
     Were there any Cats on board the Titanic?  Even if you did miss the ship in Southampton I figured you  might know. I read of a Cat named  Jenny being aboard as a working mascot.  Anyone have details on other felines on the ship?
 
     Well, "I hate Titanic models" too because , as has been mentioned, Plastic model renditions of the same Well-Known ships keep getting made in place of so many worthy others.
 
 
     More to the point  has anyone made a detailed list of all the various Titanic kits out there?  Who wants to start?    Was Revell's 1/570 kit in 1976 the first?
 
     I would ask about how many Yamato, Victory, Viking, Cutty Sark, Constitution (What? No 1/350 Constitution?!) and Santa Maria kits there are too but that would make this Thread way too long.
 
A second thought... can we make some other ships from the Titanic hull with minimal scratch building?  If so, maybe there's not enough Titanic  kits after all.

Im sure that cat would have been a great diversion in the back of a C-130 flying nap of the earth... take your mind and sense of smell off of all the guys puking.... those who ask why jump out of a perfectly good aircraft have never experienced such a ride...

CapnMac 82 ;

No, a Manx, tail genetically stunted.  Full tortoise-shell belly on a three-color mackerel-tabby coat.  As maneki neko go, he was white, black, and gold--all of the fortunate neko colors at once.  Breedhouse rescue, too.  Had a good run of more than 15 years.

Ok, that's not a good omen.

Probably right up there with being in an RH-46 where you were cautioned to mind the hellhole (hatch for same being long gone) to get to the ramp.

Hi;

 When I was in England a feline snuck aboard somehow . Plain and simple I think she was dumped aboard ! After all our anchorage was three miles out !

 Well , not having a cat on this ship , I didn't mind so much . Until she started giving orders  ! Just something about Siamese cats I guess .but , what surprised me most is she only had a nub where the tail was supposed to be . She didn't seem to mind though  .

 Her favorite spot ? On the console directly in Bridge center . that way she could see everything and get gone when she needed too . Storm water hitting our bridge windows was a turn-off for her !

TB,

     It is amazing how far a Cat can jump when a window they're sitting at is suddenly hit with a stream of water.  My last PuddyCat jumped up from the Window sil, landed on top of a lamp shade, (yea, the 4 spokes and the lamp did not fall over), jumped to the floor,  ran up the steps and hid under the bed.  She could hide under the bed in those days as there were no Models of the Titanic stored there.
