Personally, I have been honoured by the enduring fellowship of many cats whose attachment27 to me for myself alone (for I had nothing to give them to eat but a little chewed biscuit) effectually settled for me the question of what some people are pleased to call the natural selfishness of cats. My first experience was on my second voyage when I was nearly thirteen years old. On my first voyage we had no cat, strange to say, in either of the three ships I belonged to before I got back to England. But when I joined the Brinkburn in London for the West Indies as boy, I happened to be the first on board to take up my quarters in the fo’c’s’le. I crept into my lonely bunk that night feeling very small and forgotten, and[30] huddled28 myself into my ragged29 blanket trying to get warm and go to sleep. It was quite dark, and the sudden apparition30 of two glaring green eyes over the edge of my bunk sent a spasm31 of fear through me for a moment, until I felt soft feet walking over me and heard the pretty little crooning sound usually made by a complacent32 mother-cat over her kittens. I put up my hands and felt the warm fur, quite a thrill of pleasure trickling33 over me as pussy pleasantly responded with a loud satisfied purr. We were quite glad of each other I know, for as I cuddled her closely to me, the vibrations34 of her purring comforted me so that in a short time I was sound asleep. Thenceforward puss and I were the firmest of friends. In fact she was the only friend I had on board that hateful ship. For the crew were a hard-hearted lot, whose treatment of me was consistently barbarous, and even the other boy, being much bigger and stronger than I was, used to treat me as badly as any of them. But when night came and the faithful cat nestled in by my side during my watch below, I would actually forget my misery35 for a short time in the pleasant consciousness that something was fond of me. It was to my bunk she invariably fled for refuge from the ill-natured little terrier who lived aft, and never missed an opportunity of flying at her when he saw her on deck. Several times during the passage she found flying-fish that dropped on deck at night, and, by some instinct I do not pretend to explain, brought them to where I crouched36 by the cabin-door. Then she would munch37 the sweet morsel38 contentedly39, looking up at me between mouthfuls as if to tell me[31] how much she was enjoying her unwonted meal, or actually leaving it for a minute or two to rub herself against me and arch her back under my fondling hand. Two days before we left Falmouth, Jamaica, on the homeward passage, she had kittens, five tiny slug-like things, that lived in my bunk in their mother’s old nest. The voyage ended abruptly40 on the first day out of harbour by the vessel41 running upon an outlying spur of coral only a few miles from the port. After a day and night of great exertion42 and exposure the ship slid off the sharp pinnacles43 of the reef into deep water, giving us scant24 time to escape on board one of the small craft that clustered alongside salving the cargo44. The few rags I owned were hardly worth saving, but indeed I did not think of them. All my care was for an old slouch hat in which lay the five kittens snug and warm, while the anxious mother clung to me so closely that I had no difficulty in taking her along too. When we got ashore, although it cost me a bitter pang45, I handed the rescued family over to the hotel-keeper’s daughter, a comely46 mulatto girl, who promised me that my old shipmate should from that time live in luxury.
From that time forward I was never fortunate enough to have a cat for my very own for a long time. Nearly every ship I was in had a cat, or even two, but they were common property, and their attentions were severely47 impartial48. Then it came to pass that I joined a very large and splendid ship in Adelaide as second mate. Going on board for the first time, a tiny black kitten followed me persistently49 along the wharf50. It had evidently strayed[32] a long way and would not be put off, although I made several attempts to escape from it, feeling that perhaps I might be taking it away from a better home than I could possibly give it. It succeeded in following me on board, and when I took possession of the handsome cabin provided for me in the after end of the after deckhouse facing the saloon, it installed itself therein, purring complete approval of its surroundings. Now, in spite of the splendour of the ship and the natural pride I felt in being an officer on board of her, it must be confessed that I was exceedingly lonely. The chief officer was an elderly man of about fifty-five who had long commanded ships, and he considered it beneath his dignity to associate with such a mere51 lad as he considered me. Besides, he lived in the grand cabin. I could not forgather with the saloon passengers, who rarely came on the main-deck at all where I lived, and I was forbidden to go forward and visit those in the second saloon. Therefore during my watch below I was doomed52 to solitary53 state, cut off from the companionship of my kind with the sole exception of the urbane54 and gentlemanly chief steward, who did occasionally (about once a week) spend a fraction of his scanty leisure in conversation with me. Thus it came about that the company of “Pasht,” as I called my little cat, was a perfect godsend. He slept on my pillow when I was in my bunk, when I sat at my table writing or reading he sat close to my hand. And if I wrote long, paying no attention to him, he would reach out a velvety55 paw and touch the handle of my pen, ever so gently,[33] looking up at my face immediately to see if my attention had been diverted. Often I took no notice but kept on with my work, quietly putting back the intruding56 paw when it became too troublesome. At last, as if unable to endure my neglect any longer, he would get up and walk on to the paper, sitting down in the centre of the sheet with a calm assurance that now I must notice him that was very funny. Then we would sit looking into the depths of each other’s eyes as if trying mutual57 mesmerism. It generally ended by his climbing up on to my shoulder and settling into the hollow of my neck, purring softly in my ear, while I wrote or read on until I was quite stiff with the constrained58 position I kept for fear of disturbing him. Whenever I went on deck at night to keep my watch he invariably came with me, keeping me company throughout my four hours’ vigil on the poop. Always accustomed to going barefoot, from which I was precluded59 during the day owing to my position, I invariably enjoyed the absence of any covering for my feet in the night watches. My little companion evidently thought my bare feet were specially60 put on for his amusement, for after a few sedate61 turns fore7 and aft by my side, he would hide behind the skylights and leap out upon them as I passed, darting63 off instantly in high glee at the feat64 he had performed. Occasionally I would turn the tables on him by going a few feet up the rigging, when he would sit and cry, baby-like, until I returned and comforted him. I believe he knew every stroke of the bell as well as I did. One of the apprentices65 always struck the small bell[34] at the break of the poop every half-hour, being answered by the look-out man on the big bell forward. “Pasht” never took the slightest notice of any of the strokes until the four pairs announced the close of the watch. Then I always missed him suddenly. But when, after mustering66 the mate’s watch and handing over my charge to my superior, I went to my berth, a little black head invariably peeped over the edge of my bunk, as if saying, “Come along; I’m so sleepy!” So our pleasant companionship went on until one day, when about the Line in the Atlantic, I found my pretty pet lying on the grating in my berth. He had been seized with a fit, and under its influence had rushed into the fo’c’s’le, where some unspeakable wretch67 had shamefully68 maltreated him under the plea that he was mad! I could not bear to see him suffer—I cannot say what had been done to him—so I got an old marline-spike, looped the lanyard about his neck, and dropped him overboard. And an old lady among the passengers berated69 me the next day for my “heartless brutality”!
As a bereaved70 parent often dreads71 the thought of having another little one to lose, so, although many opportunities presented themselves, I refused to own another cat, until I became an unconsenting foster-parent again to a whole family. I joined a brig in the St. Katharine Docks as mate, finding when I took up my berth that there was both a cat and a dog on board, inmates72 of the cabin. They occupied different quarters during the night, but it was a never-waning pleasure to me to see them meet in the morning. The dog, a large brown retriever, would stand perfectly73[35] still, except for his heavy tail, which swayed sedately74 from side to side, while “Jane” would walk round and round him, arching her back and rubbing her sides against him, purring all the time a gentle note of welcome. Presently their noses would meet, as if in a kiss, and he would bestow75 a slavering lick or two upon her white fur. This always ended the greeting, sending “Jane” off primly76 to commence her morning toilet. But alas77! a blighting78 shadow fell upon this loving intercourse79. One of the dock cats, a creature of truculent80 appearance, her fur more like the nap of a door-mat than anything else, blind of one eye, minus half her tail, with a hare-lip (acquired, not hereditary81), and her ears vandyked in curious patterns, stalked on board one afternoon, and took up her abode82 in the cabin without any preliminaries whatever. Both the original tenants83 were much disturbed at this graceless intrusion, but neither of them felt disposed to tackle the formidable task of turning her out. So “Jane” departed to the galley84, and “Jack,” with many a loud and long sniff85 at the door of the berth wherein the visitor lay, oscillated disconsolately86 between the galley and the cabin, his duty and his inclination87. The new-comer gave no trouble, always going ashore for everything she required, and only once, the morning her family arrived, deigning88 to accept a saucer of milk from me. As soon as she dared she carried the new-comers ashore one by one, being much vexed89 when I followed and brought them back again. However, her patience was greater than mine, for she succeeded in getting them all away except one which I hid away and she apparently90[36] forgot. Then we saw her no more; she returned to her duty of rat-catching in the warehouses91, and never came near us again. Meanwhile “Jane” would scarcely leave my side during the day, asking as plainly as a cat could, why, oh why, didn’t I turn that shameless hussy out? Couldn’t I see how things were? or was I like the rest of the men? Her importunity92 was so great that I was heartily93 glad when the old “docker” was gone, and I lost no time in reinstalling “Jane” in her rightful realm. It was none too soon. For the next morning when I turned out, a sight as strange as any I have ever seen greeted me. There, in the corner of my room, lay “Jack” on his side, looking with undisguised amazement94 and an occasional low whine95 of sympathy at his friend, who, nestling close up to his curls in the space between his fore and hind62 legs, was busily attending to the wants of two new arrivals. The dog’s bewilderment and interest were so great, that the scene would have been utterly96 ludicrous had it not been so genuinely pathetic and pretty. How he managed to restrain himself I do not know, but there he lay perfectly quiet until pussy herself released him from his awkward position by getting up and taking possession of a cosy97 box I prepared for her. Even then his attentions were constant, for many times a day he would walk gravely in and sniff at the kittens, bestow a lick on the mother, and depart with an almost dejected air, as of a dog that had met with a problem utterly beyond his wisdom to solve. A visitor claiming one of the new kittens, I filled its place with the one I had kept belonging to the old “docker,” and “Jane” accepted[37] the stranger without demur98. While we were in dock I gave them plenty of such luxuries as milk and cat’s-meat, so that the little family prospered99 apace. As the kittens grew and waxed frolicsome100, their attachment to me was great,—quite embarrassing at times, for while standing101 on deck giving orders, they would swarm102 up my legs and cling like bats to my coat, so that I moved with difficulty for fear of shaking them off. “Jane” was a perfect “ratter,” and I was curious to see whether her prowess was hereditary in her offspring. A trap was set and a rat speedily caught, for we were infested103 with them. Then “Jane” and her own kitten were called, the latter being at the time barely two months old. As soon as the kitten smelt104 the rat she growled105, set up her fur, and walked round the trap (a large wire cage) seeking a way in. “Jane” sat down a little apart, an apparently uninterested spectator. We opened the door of the trap, the kitten darted106 in, and there in that confined space slew107 the rat, which was almost her equal in size, with the greatest ease. She then dragged it out, growling108 like a miniature tiger. Her mother came to have a look, but the kitten, never loosing her bite, shot out one bristling109 paw and smote110 poor “Jane” on the nose so felly that she retired111 shaking her head and sneezing entire disapproval112. The other kitten, a “tom,” could never be induced to interfere113 with a rat at all. My space is gone, much to my disappointment, for the subject is a fascinating one to me. But I hope enough has been said to show what a large amount of interest clusters around cats on board ship.
