To properly prepare us for another introspective #caturday, let us meditate on some cat names given to them lovingly, we assume, by their servants. Foucault named his cat Insanity. Derrida named his cat Logos. Camus named his cat Cigarette. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/071/967/978/446/896/original/3d2bb4a01add9f8f.png https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/071/968/956/790/081/original/21d7c6c26c9eb324.png https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/071/970/860/493/700/original/7e6fa150975c7336.png
@71fd7c2c Captain Matthew Flinders, an early mapper of Australia, had a cat named Trim who travelled on board ship with him. There is a statue of Trim https://monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/culture/animals/display/23316-trim ALT: a bronze statue of an ordinary looking cat.
