Cats Of Yore - Tumblr Posts
this is the most whimsical story I’ve ever taken a gander at
When the White Star liner RMS Celtic wrecked in 1928, the ship was evacuated, but the cat, Emily, refused to leave. She and her kittens stayed onboard for a few days, being fed on "fish, cream, and condensed milk" until they could be taken ashore. Emily's plight managed to make the New York Times.

Wonderful Australian Talking Cats! I wish I could find out more about this. Were they touring and making a promotional stop at this store? Were they artists in residence? Were they the security team? Ca. 1885. Source.
