Unsinkable Sam

The black cat hops past the human that was always coughing and checks its dish again.

The black cat hops past the human that was always coughing and checks its dish again. In the mess hall, the old milk is overpowering so it licks a puddle of water. It paws the still cat in the passageway and decides against investigating the engine room.

In the crew’s quarters, it amuses itself with a rolled up pair of socks then naps on Sub-Lieutenant Galbraith’s bed. Two decks up, the grey cat bats a trembling mouse between its paws then licks chocolate from the radio operator’s fingers.

The black cat's ears prick. There is a great crash and the passageway lurches, sending the creature running and the seamen sliding after it.
