Yes, Ernest Shackleton had a pet cat named Mrs. Chippy, who was a ginger tomcat. Mrs. Chippy was brought aboard the Endurance during Shackleton's 1914 Antarctic expedition and was well-loved by the crew. Unfortunately, the cat did not survive the expedition, as it was euthanized for welfare reasons before the crew's escape from the ice. Mrs. Chippy remains a notable part of Shackleton's story and the lore of Antarctic exploration.
