Early life
Bruce Catman came from a litter of 6, the only orange cat among a mixed lot of tabbies and black and whites. He showed some proficiency as a mouser, but was attracted early to water.

Education
Catman was taken on by an able bodied seaman under B. Ellis. Given unexpected responsibilities at which he excelled due to B. Ellis's frequent jail time for absurdly minor violations, his capacity to accept responsibilities was noted by a number of Friends. One of whom, Lindsay, was instrumental in advancing his seaman's career.

Career as a Seaman


In 2006, Catman first joined the Seaman's Union out of San Pedro, California. His first ship was the Panamanian registered Hollow Log on which he served as apprentice bottle washer. Catman's career, a notably exciting one, has been the topic of a number of sea shanties. Rarely do such songs appear without authorship. That Captain Catman's exploits have been described without attribution testifies to the loyalty of his crews.

Current Professional Activities
In addition to his life at sea, Captain Catman carries on a productive and ambitious social correspondence, largely on Facebook.
