Odd that the cat's name is "Oscar."

That's the same name of a cat that was rescued from the sinking of the German battleship Bismark in World War 2. The crew of the British destroyer Cossack that rescued him was sunk in turn by a German submarine three weeks later. Oscar again surived and was adopted by the crew of the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal. It too was torpedoed and sunk, the cat rescued again but this time sent ashore to live out his years in a place called "The Home for Sailors" at Belfast. I wonder if he curled up alongside dying sailors there.

Maybe "Oscar" came back!

Cheerily,
