Context paragraphs:
Ship's cat: The ship's cat has been a common feature on many trading, exploration, and naval ships dating to ancient times.  Cats have been carried on ships for many reasons, most importantly to catch mice and rats.  These vermin aboard a ship can cause damage to ropes, woodwork, and more recently, electrical wiring.  Also, rodents threaten ships' stores, devour crews' foodstuff, and could cause economic damage to ships' cargo such as grain.  They are also a source of disease, which is dangerous for ships that are at sea for long periods of time.  Notably, rat fleas are carriers of plague, and rats on ships were believed to be a main spreader of the Black Death.

He was a strong supporter of the European Communities (EC), and after winning the decisive vote in the House of Commons by 336 to 244, he led the negotiations that culminated in Britain's entry into the EC on 1 January 1973.  It was, says biographer John Campbell, "Heath's finest hour".
