'Jenny was no ordinary cat, being the Titanic’s official mouser brought aboard to contain rodents. During the ship’s sea trials, she gave birth to a litter of kittens and was lovingly cared for by a workman named Jim Mulholland. Jim prepared a cozy nest for her and kittens near the galley, warmed by the boiler. He shared scraps of food with her during breaks and the quiet routine gave her a sense of calm amid the chaos of preparing the most luxurious ship in history for its maiden voyage. But then something strange happened.
A few days before the Titanic set sail from Southampton for New York, Jenny’s behavior changed. She began to get restless. Then—without warning—she began picking up her kittens one by one, gently grabbing them by the neck… and leading them out of the boat. She walked them down the ladder over and over again, until all the kittens were safely on dry land. And in that moment, for Jim it became clear: “This cat knows something… something we don’t.”
Trusting his intuition -- or the mommy cat's intuition -- Jim packed up his things and quietly stepped off the boat. He never returned to the ship. The Titanic sailed without him. Years later, Jim, now an old man, told the story to a journalist. He credited Jenny with saving his life. His instinct—old, silent, and unwavering—may have been the only real warning anyone ever received. Sometimes heroes don’t wear uniforms, they might have fur, whiskers, and a knowing heart.'
