The Titanic’s Smartest Passenger

Jenny the cat was the Titanic's mascot, brought on board to help control rodents. She lived in the ship's galley and was cared for by a labourer named Jim Mulholland.
During sea trials, Jenny gave birth to kittens and Jim found them a cosy spot next to the ship's galley. Caring for the mother cat and her kittens broke the monotony of Jim's work preparing the Titanic for its maiden voyage. Jenny seemed content with her warm spot near the boilers, her babies, and the scraps from the galley that Jim brought her.

However, soon after the ship docked at Southampton, England, just before embarking on its maiden voyage (to New York), Jenny took a good look around and quickly started grabbing her kittens by the neck and carrying them off. One by one, down the gangway she took them off the ship.

Jim watched her carefully and realized that "this cat must know something others don't!" He then quickly gathered his belongings and left the ship as well.
