While on Foothold, Katherine buys 200 cats for several parts of the von Valancius ship, Destiny Hunter. This is to augment the amount cats already on the ship, which were distressingly low.

This distress isn't so much about how much Kadee likes cats, and she does, but the fact cats are still useful in the 41st century. Most void born consider cats to be good luck: They eat vermin and thus provisions largely safe, electrical wiring to protect the casings of the machine spirits, and possible edible cargo. Cats also help prevent disease from spreading throughout the voidship and can thwart the plans of Nurgle.

She kept two cats on the bridge for herself and for her quarters. An orange tabby boy named Tiger and a fluffy black cat named Void. Tiger is known for causing mischief on the bridge, though he knows to stay in Kadee's quarters during warp jumps. Void rarely leaves the Captain's Quarters, preferring to sleep on the bed or one of many cozy chairs. Katherine feeds them, cuddles with them, plays with them, and grooms them... though she'll let servants clean the litter boxes.
