Ray Palmer is totally the type to rescue a cat, then become concerned about the cat’s vision, make glasses for the cat, and try to force the cat to wear the glasses. “It’s for your own good, Mister Tabby!”

(Mick lets the cat hide in his room, as long as it doesn’t touch his food.)

OKAY BUT ALSO CONSIDER THIS: Mick actually lets the cat eat right off his own plate and fights anyone who “Ewwwww!”s at him about it through spitting mouthfuls of food. Everybody’s gotta eat, brother. 

Sara sardonically asks if she should pour three beers instead of two now whenever she sits down with them. Then she baby-talks openly to the kitty, mostly just to get on Mick’s nerves.

Mr. Tabby likes to hang out in the engine room sometimes and sniff things and watch Jax tinker. Jax jokes that he doesn’t mind and that the cat is “just trying to help” and always keeps treats in one of his pockets now. 

Martin is horribly allergic, and sneezes whenever Jax pets the cat, even when they’re currently on opposite sides of the ship.

Mick elaborately projects constant internal monologues onto the cat. “See that look he’s giving you? He thinks you’re full of shit, too.“ 

If the ship is ever in any kind of danger, Mick will absolutely risk his life and maybe other people’s lives to run back for Mr. Tabby and stuff him under his coat before escaping. 

Amaya stoically ignores the Unofficial Ship Cat, except when he strolls into her room sometimes like he owns the place, and no one is looking, so she pets him and assures him he’s a great warrior in her native tongue, yes, you are, YES, YOU ARE. And then murmurs wondering what he sees in that Mick Rory anyway. And then feels like an asshole, because she’s clearly lost her mind talking to a damn cat.

Mick also has a million ridiculous pet names for Mr. Tabby, most of which you wouldn’t want to repeat in polite company. The kitty seems to acknowledge most of them, but only from Mick. He often pretends he doesn’t hear when anyone else calls him, a fact about which Mick will be smug forever.

I would add that Rip, when he comes back, will try very hard to ignore Mr. Tabby, because having a cat aboard ship is a distraction they really don’t need when they have a fairly important mission, and god knows what disaster could happen if it got out in the wrong time period (now the fact that he has far more to worry about from his actual crew, and the fact that his own track record isn’t that great is not actually lost on him, but he prefers to ignore that too.)

But sometimes at night, at the end of a very long day, he’ll go into his quarters and realize his pillow is currently occupied by a very comfortable curled up lump of cat.  He’ll pet it absently, and tell it not to get used to being there, and then go to sleep (sans pillow).  It will be gone in the morning and this will not be spoken of again.  (Until next time,)

Jonah Hex would get in staring contests with it.
