My paternal grandfather ran away from Ireland before 1900, joining the merchant marine and traveled the world. Still had some sailing vessels then as I recall him saying. All had cats on board, for rat patrol no doubt.

Dad said they always had cats at home growing up, grandfather loved them. Took him a while to warm to dogs.
