The domestic cat became a companion to humans over 9,000 years ago. Their relationship with humans has evolved in a rather bizarre way, evolving over many centuries from being perceived as a manifestation of evil spirits to a lovable pet. Since ancient times, cats have also accompanied seafarers.

This book provides the first detailed account of maritime omens, superstitions, and legends associated with cats, as well as how cats became sailors and how their role in this capacity changed with the development of navigation. The book contains funny, touching, sad, dramatic, and sometimes tragic stories of cats at sea, spanning the period from ancient times to the present day. Much of the information is published in Russian for the first time.

The book is intended for a wide range of readers who love cats, the sea, ships, romance, and the history of naval navigation.
