Toughy, Huffy and Snuffy, ship's kittens aboard an unidentified British tanker, taken at Brooklyn, 1944, as they plumb the mysteries of a heavy diving helmet.  These kittens may well have been born on the ship - ship's cattery tended to run in families (for obvious cattish reasons ...).  Best regards, JR.

Merchant mariners.

Tiddles, Ship's Cat aboard the British aircraft carrier, HMS Victorious, occupying a preferred spot atop the after capistan (where he could play with be bell-rope), 1942.  Tiddles was something of a specialist when it came to Ship's Catting - he was born aboard HMS Argus, a British aircraft carrier of 1918 vintage which served up to 1944, and "transferred" to the "Victorious" at some point.  (Many Ship's Cats sprang from Ship's Cat families ...)  The Victorious herself took part in a number of significant actions during WW2 (including the attack on the "Bismarck"), and continued to serve into the 1960s.  Best regards, JR.

Cat of Oak.

Abandoned British tanks in Kočani/Macedonia, April 1941.
