Rats is a problem on ships.
Cats chase rats.
Therefore, I suspect many old ships had cats.

It’s true. I remember reading that fauna of some Pacific islands were wiped out because sailors had cats with them, when traveling to the islands

Cats chase rats. And kill them. useful on a ship. A well-fed cat won't eat them, though. Just bring 'em in as trophies.
