Her fur was matted and had seaweed on it. A weekend of storms had preceded her arrival leading many to speculate the feline had been swept into the harbor and then either swam or floated ashore on a piece of debris. It caused a sensation and a name had to be given to this cat (whose owners have not been found). So after a contest where names were submitted\u001f\u2014where such names as Mary Ann, Ginger, Salty and Buttermilk were considered\u2014the name that won out was Molly Brown.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right. She is named after the \u201cUnsinkable Molly Brown\u201d of Titanic fame. Well you have to admire the selection. From all reports the cat is doing quite well having the island mostly to her itself for the moment. It opens up to tourists on 27 May. No doubt many will ask about the feline Molly Brown, who likely will become a permanent fixture on the island.<\/p>\n<p>Source: DNAinfo, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dnainfo.com\/20110513\/downtown\/governors-island-cat-named-after-unsinkable-molly-brown\">The Stray Cat Was Named After &#8220;The Unsinkable Molly Brown<\/a>,&#8221;13 May 2011<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governors Island in New York recently had a visitor wash up on its shores, a calico cat.
