No, no cat is known to have been aboard Mary Celeste. The captain and the crew of Dei Gratia mentioned finding no life form upon boarding, and sailing to Gibraltar, the half brig found yawing halfway between the Azores and Portugal in December 1872. Inspections conducted by the crew of Dei Gratia and subsequently ordered by Gibraltar's Admiralty Court revealed evidence of human occupation -- through abandoned personal possessions and such physical traces as the imprint of Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs' two-year-old daughter Sophia's body on a bed's blankets -- but not of animal presences.
