Well Done that Cat

Quote:

'Victoria Cross' cat honoured by Navy

The only cat ever to be awarded the 'animal’s Victoria Cross’ is to be remembered at a ceremony on Thursday.

Royal Navy officers are paying tribute to Simon the cat, a rat-catcher on the HMS Amethyst who continued his duties despite being hit by shrapnel and singed during shelling raids by Chinese communists on the Yangtze River in 1949.
Simon stuck to his task despite injury during the 101-day summer siege that followed.

The honour has also been granted to 62 animals including 32 Second World War messenger pigeons, three horses and 26 dogs — but Simon is the first cat to receive it.

Proof that dogs are better than cats! :hmm: Well done to the kitty though, helped keep people alive and that's something to praise.
