A fact from Mrs Chippy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 October 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that, despite the name, Mrs. Chippy, the ship's cat on Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was actually male?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/October.

You'd think that a bunch of sailors out to sea for a long time would be able to tell (at least remember) the differences between a male and a female. Oh, well. Badbilltucker 15:45, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Poor Mrs Chippy

Mrs. Chippy's statue in Wellington's Cemetery

Dedicated to the New Zealand friends. It would be really nice if someone went to photograph the statue of Mrs.Chippy on Harry McNish tomb in Wellington and load it on the Wikimedia Commons. Thanks. With sympathy, from Genoa (Italy)--Siperzen (talk) 21:40, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 8 July 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Andrewa (talk) 10:00, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mrs. Chippy → Mrs Chippy – Per MOS:ENGVAR. While cats don't have citizenships, there are strong ties to the UK, as the cat's owner was British, and the expedition for which Mrs Chippy was ship's cat was a British one (British ship, and primarily British expedition funding). PS: Entry at Ship's cat#Mrs. Chippy should be corrected after the move. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 07:24, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Its the logical move. scope_creep (talk) 11:42, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support, good find. Per nom (British style). The image of the postage stamp on the page contains the non-period form. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:41, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Definitely "engvar". I also support removal of the full stop form from the article text (except where it has been used in referenced material and is being quoted correctly. Sprite96 (talk) 07:22, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that'll be an implicit result of the move. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 09:05, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support - per sources. -- Netoholic @ 11:12, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Of course. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:03, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the main heading be Mrs Chippy (cat) as in Mike (cat)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.63.81.59 (talk) 10:33, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not. Mike the cat needs to be disambiguated, as there are other Mikes - a chimpanzee and a headless chicken. In Mrs Chippy's case, he's the only one of that name. 31.125.139.185 (talk) 18:49, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
