Oh my god that kitten! 😍

That mustache is like a broom. You could just cut it off and put it on a stick and have a little tiny novelty push broom.

I just learned about another historical ship cat from some new children’s books. Are you familiar with Trim? https://www.theguardian.com/science/the-h-word/2014/jul/18/matthew-flinders-bicentenary-statue-navigator-science-history

Yep!

You can see the books here https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/727071/trim-sets-sail-by-deborah-hopkinson-illustrated-by-kristy-caldwell/ (back matter in one notes he swiped the meat off the forks of humans who were lost in conversation)

There’s a statue of him with Flinders in Flinders’s home village of Donington in Lincolnshire.

Shame as my photo angle has Trim more prominent.
