The Anonymous Widower

An Explorer And His Cat

They had a news item on BBC London today about a statue to Matthew Flinders being erected at Euston, which is where he is buried.

I did know a bit about Flinders, but I was puzzled to see that he is being shown with a cat. This story on Wikipedia tells the tale of the cat, Trim.

There aren’t many cats, who have their own page on Wikipedia and even fewer who appear with their master (?) in statues.
