Cats Were of Value to Mariners
Ancient mariners believed that cats could foretell the weather and were therefore an important member of the crew. If a cat began to play it meant that a gale was ahead and so it was said that the cat had "a gale of wind in her tail". Small ripples on the surface of the sea are called cat's paws said to be caused by the ghosts of ship's cats dancing ahead of the wind. However, sailors would never have a black cat aboard since they would be considered bad luck whereas a multi-colored cat was considered lucky and would be sent to climb the mast to "put the storm devils to flight".
