68x68mm Square full colour printed magnet. ‘TRIM the CAT’. 100% Tasmanian Made. (c) Annie Fitz [The White Range – full colour Printed Art Magnets]
Trim (1799–1804) was a ship’s cat which accompanied Matthew Flinders on his voyages to circumnavigate and map the coastline of Australia from 1801 to 1803.
When Flinders was accused of spying and imprisoned by the French in Mauritius on his return voyage to England, Trim shared his captivity until his unexplained disappearance, which Flinders attributed to his having been stolen and eaten by a hungry slave.
