Some 1,400 townspeople, 323 soldiers and 150 cats spent 51 days together in the Castillo de San Marcos during the English siege of St. Augustine in 1702. The notation of the 150 cats turned up in the research on the siege done 43 years ago by Charles W. Arnade, a Florida historian with deep roots into the conflict.
