Herman’s having a moment – i saw reference to him somewhere else on the interwebs the other day, too. Do ships still keep kitties around, anyone know? Still seems like a decent idea.

I’m not sure about contemporary cats; but CBP has a surprisingly large document on its assorted biosecurity puppers.

Shelly the lab can high-five and once protected us from 4kg of Iguana meat. Tucker the beagle once seized 1467 pieces of fruit from a single passenger. Woodrow the beagle detected some Yak skulls.

Reminds me of Simon the Sea Cat. Simon has a recent children’s book all about him.

and are they from the same family as the wigglesworth necromancers?

but more importantly, where exactly did the cat keep his id?

in his catpurse?
