“I’ve heard a tale of a cat who survived the voyage. Do you have any knowledge of that?

Dr. Edgette: Crew often had at least one cat on board each ship to help keep the rat population down. It’s said that there was a cat with young kittens aboard the sea trials of the Titanic but when the ship arrived in Southampton from Belfast, she was seen disembarking. Up and down the gangplank she went, retrieving one kitten at a time that she deposited on the dock. She and the kittens quickly disappeared and it was later said that had some sort of premonition that the voyage wasn’t going to be a good one.”

They “interviewed” one of the dogs on 60 Minutes in 1987 right before he passed away.

Thanks for posting this, it made my week.

I always wondered what happened to the pets that were on board, so little information!! Best thread on the Titanic ever.

Yes, made me cry.
