  1. Ships are far more compartmentalized post 1940 than they were in the WW1 era. Increase of survivability mitigates against a cat stalking freely about the ship or through the hold. The advantage over dogs as mascots is simply based on the cat box. Dog boxes are NOT a thing. Also, socially speaking, having a stinky animal aboard ship was little bother in an age where men took one shower or bath a week. Nowadays, only officers smell that bad. ;-)
