Cats are always a blessing aboard. I sailed with a very large Maine Coon cat named Buttons. He fearlessly guarded his territory (the boat) and because of his yellow color got the name 'el Tigre' by local kids who came by to see him. One officious port captain actually asked me if my tiger was tied up. Since Buttons usually wore a harness, I said "yes". The guy went below and a few seconds later came flying up the ladder and sped to the dock.
I figure that my cat yawned which scared the fellOw saw a tiger. My papers were thrown at me and I never saw the port captain again.
