And let's not forget the U.S. Army's cat program http://www.army.mil/article/99764/

Or the five famous cats of war http://www.petmd.com/cat/slideshows/seasonal/five-cats-of-war#.UmnCRDnv22w

Or maybe the National Feline Military Association https://www.facebook.com/TNFMAcatarmy

And given the Anchorage's theme, let's remember the U.S. Navy http://www.usni.org/news-and-features/cats-and-the-sea-services

As the Greek financial crisis continues to grip the nation, even the feline population starts to suffer from shortages in work, food and the basic necessities. Here is a picture of just one example showing the response to an advertisment for a ship's cat.

Given the German fascination with Lederhosen and other such weirdness I find that statement entirely unsurprising :happy:

Sadly, most of the cats I've known were better company than most of the PEOPLE I've known.

I actually learned to sail on a cat.

Catboat that is. It looked a good bit like this one.
