Official information
Dr Johnson's House is a historic museum dedicated to the life and works of Samuel Johnson, a prominent literary figure. Visitors can explore the house, which features a collection of books, prints, and artifacts related to Johnson's life, as well as learn about his famous cat, Hodge.
From the Wikipedia article
Hodge (fl. c.1769) was one of Samuel Johnson's cats, immortalised in a characteristically whimsical passage in James Boswell's 1791 book Life of Johnson. Although there is little known about Hodge, such as his life, his death, or any other information, what is known is Johnson's fondness for his cat, which separated Johnson from the views held by others of the eighteenth century.
