We were in port a few days ago, and a cat came aboard via mooring line. We lost track of her, and found her later that evening. We managed to get her back to the pier, and waved goodbye as we took off. This cat seemed unusually upset by this… Turns out, in the short time she was on board, she gave birth to THREE kittens. We found the other two after I submitted this post. The poor things went almost four days with no food or mommy before we found them in the machine shop. We have been bottle feeding them all day, and have already contacted local veterinary services to come check them out. After the initial shock of being found, and feeding, the kittens are just as happy and playful as any other cute little bugger you’d find anywhere else. They were a great boost to crew moral, and I LOVE THEM.
