Every major sea voyage of the past had a cat or two, they were necessary to keep rats from eating all the food supplies. Apparently the cat on board the expedition that discovered New Zealand immediately upon reaching land jumped out and grabbed a small flightless bird (then a brand new species discovery) and dragged it on board to eat.

Cats have been a menace to the native kiwi birds ever since.
