Jenny the Titanic Cat was the ship's cat of the RMS Titanic and was originally adopted from her sister ship, the RMS Olympic. Jenny was employed as a rat catcher and gave birth to a litter of kittens shortly before the Titanic's maiden voyage in April 1912. She lived mainly in the galley, where the kitchen crew fed her leftover food.

The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the ones that have experienced so much at the hands of life, they are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to turn every loss into a lesson.
The kindest people do not just exist – they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness, because they have seen firsthand why compassion is so necessary.
They have seen firsthand why tenderness is so important in this world. ~Bianca Sparacino

Look who celebrated her birthday on this day, Siamese cat lover Elizabeth Montgomery! 🎈🎁🎂🎉🐾 ( April 15, 1933 – May 18, 1995)

Montgomery was an American film and television actress whose career spanned five decades. She is best remembered as the star of the TV series "Bewitched."

Did you know that Elizabeth's own siamese cat named Zip Zip appeared in two episodes of the TV show "Bewitched"? In the first season (1965) Zip Zip was in episode 18 titled "The Cat's Meow." Zip Zip was also the same cat from episode 21 called "Ling Ling", which is the name of character the feline played. Zip Zip had a supporting role and played numerous scenes in both episodes. If you are needing your meezer and "Bewitched" fix now, no worries…we found both episodes for you to enjoy and it's the colorized version too! (Season 1 was originally filmed in black and white.)

Albert Schweitzer (1875--1965) had a beloved cat called Sizi. When writing at his desk, she often liked to curl up on his left arm -- so rather than disturb her, the naturally left-handed Schweitzer struggled to write with his right hand. His quote, "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats" is well-known.

“Having many cats is good. If you feel bad, you look at the cats and you feel better, because they know that everything is just the way it is. You don't have to be nervous about anything. And they know it. They are saviors. The more cats you have, the longer you will live. If you have a hundred cats, you will live ten times longer than if you have ten.One day, this will be known and people will have thousands of cats."
-Charles Bukowski-
