Most people know the tragic story of the Titanic, but few have heard about Jenny — the ship’s resident cat, and possibly the only soul on board who sensed what was coming.Jenny wasn’t just any cat. She was the Titanic’s official mouser, brought aboard to keep the rodent population in check. During the ship’s sea trials, she gave birth to a litter of kittens, and was lovingly cared for by a shipworker named Jim Mulholland.Jim made a cozy nest for her and her babies near the ship's galley, close to the warmth of the boilers. He even shared kitchen scraps with her during breaks, and their quiet little routine brought him a sense of peace amidst the chaos of preparing the most luxurious ship in history for its maiden voyage.But something strange happened.Just days before the Titanic was set to depart from Southampton to New York, Jenny’s behavior changed. She began acting restless. And then — without warning — she started picking up her kittens one by one, gripping them gently by the scruff of the neck... and carrying them off the ship.Down the gangway she went. Again and again. Until she and all of her babies were safely ashore.Jim stood and watched her. And in that moment, something clicked."This cat knows something… something we don’t."Trusting his gut — or maybe trusting hers — Jim packed up his belongings and quietly left the ship and grabbed Jenny and all of her kittens to bring home. He never boarded again.The Titanic set sail without him.We all know what happened next.Years later, Jim, now an old man, shared the story with a journalist. He credited Jenny with saving his life. Her instincts — ancient, silent, and unshakable — may have been the only real warning that ever came. Jenny and her kittens lived on with a grateful Jim.Sometimes, heroes don’t wear uniforms.Sometimes, they have fur, whiskers, and a heart that just knows.

>Titanic has four smoke stacksCorrect. But one of them was actually fake (served some other function, wasn't a smokestack).
