In the old days pilots would often fly with a cat and a goose.

This is an Urban Legend. Geese were never used, as they *love* to fly in
the
fog. Ducks were required.

Yep. For one thing, geese will fly upside down, while a duck will avoid
inverted flight. If ducks fly upside down, they quack up.

Yep, and they return from the vet with a big bill.

Still, with a duck or a goose in the cockpit, you can always get down.
