searchin' for my lost shaker of salt,
Some people claim there's a woman to blame,

So, the story of him and his cat was simply a clever PR exercise to get him elected?

It is a myth created years after his time.

The nursery rhyme/pantomime suggests that he was Lord Mayor three times and was poor.

He was never poor. He was a rich shipowner, possibly the ships were of a type called 'cat', and he was Lord Mayor of London FOUR times.

His ships brought coal to London.

No mention of coal.

He was a major moneylender to the Monarchs, and donated a large amount to charities, some of which still exist.
