2023 marks the 600th anniversary of the death of Dick Whittingon, who became Lord Mayor of London in 1397, after his alleged rags-to-riches story. His cat's mousing ability supposedly led to his prosperity. But is this fact or fiction, legit or legend and is the cat's role plausible or just a fanciful fish story?
