🐱 In the ancient world, cats were sacred — protectors, companions, even gods.
By the Middle Ages, they became feared as omens and familiars of witches.
The arc of adoration to fear is striking.

Keeping up the nautical flavour of the month (our Haunted Cow episode) with a look at a very adventurous kitty this #caturday :Trim, the feline companion to cartographer/explorer Matthew Flinders; together they sailed the globe, and circumnavigated the Australian coastline.
Statues of Trim, often with his human Flinders, can be found in Australia and the UK.
Happy #caturday !
