Product Description
Product Description
The story of a brave seafaring cat who in the company of Matthew Flinders circumnavigated the globe in the years 1799-1804. To the memory of Trim the best and most illustrious of his Race the most affectionate of friends faithful of servants and best of creatures. He made a Tour of the Globe and a voyage to Australia which he circumnavigated; and was ever the delight and pleasure of his fellow voyagers. Returning to Europe in 1803 he was shipwrecked in the Great Equinoxial Ocean; This danger escaped he sought refuge and assistance at the Isle of France where he was made prisoner contrary to the laws of Justice of Humanity and of French National Faith; and where alas! He terminated his useful career; by an untimely death being devoured by the Catophago of that island. Many a time have I beheld his little merriment's with delight and his superior intelligence with surprise: Never will his life be seen again! Trim was born in the Southern Indian Ocean in the Year 1799 and perished as above at the Isle of France in 1804. Peace be to his shade and Honour to his memory.

An interesting book that will take you about 30 minutes to read! Although written several hundred years ago, it is very readable and shows delightfully that a tough sea captain can be completely soppy over a cat!
Our book club was reading "Matthew Flinders Cat" by Bryce Courtenay and "Trim" gave me an insight into the theme that weaves the plot of this novel together.

Trim - a cat's adventure
29 Mar 2005
Format:Hardcover
This was a good insight to the life and times of a great explorer and his faithful cat Trim. Being written over 200 years ago by Mathew Flinders while in captivity in Mauritius the text is a little hard going in some places. Very worthwhile for anyone who likes history and extraordinary cats.
