#OnThisDay 1921 the Admiralty increased the allowance for milk for ships cats from 1 Shilling to 1 Shilling & Sixpence per week. @RoyalNavy
@OnthisdayRN @RoyalNavy Rare instance of MOD procurement committee making the right call.
@OnthisdayRN @RoyalNavy Does @RoyalNavy have any ships’ cats these days? @Number10cat perhaps you need to investigate!
@OnthisdayRN @MontyTheHorse12 @RoyalNavy A great photo !
@OnthisdayRN @RoyalNavy My Dad always talked about the ships cats. He was a huge cat lover all of his life.
@OnthisdayRN @RoyalNavy It is interesting to note that no ships' cat participated in the Invergordon Mutiny. The Admiralty was too smart to dock their allowance.
@OnthisdayRN @andrewteale @RoyalNavy 5p to 7½p but I wonder why shilling and sixpence are proper nouns.
@OnthisdayRN @bo66ie29 @RoyalNavy I doubt if it made much difference - the cats were quite capable of getting what they wanted lol
