Name:

Kiddo

Description:

The most famous cat to be named Kiddo was a gray male tabby who was included in the crew complement aboard the airship America. This dirigible attempted in 1910 to cross the Atlantic, departing from Atlantic City, but after 3 days of difficulties the crew and Kiddo abandoned the airship for rescue at sea by the steamship Trent. It was to be another 9 years before another cat made a transatlantic crossing attempt by airship, this time in the British R-34 which sucessfully crossed over in 1919 with a female named Wopsey. She was subsequently renamed Jazz by an adoring American public.
