Description or summary of the audiobook: While the extraordinary exploits of the seafarers who mapped the world have been well documented, those of their indispensable pest controllers, shipmates, and mascots haven't - until now. Drawing on journals, newspaper reports, photographs, and more, Seafurrers provides us with a cat's-eye view of maritime history. Forty tales recount the adventures of these valiant felines and point out nuggets of trivia along the way, including: The math behind the damage rats could do on ships How flying fish (and even squid) 'fly' Why cats don't get scurvy.This deft genealogy of cat-human friendship is sure to leave readers with a new appreciation of the cats who helped us at sea (and those we helplessly serve at home).
