Hodge the Cat is a tribute to Samuel Johnson's beloved black cat, celebrated in the heart of London. Immortalized in James Boswell's "Life of Samuel Johnson," Hodge is remembered for the special care Johnson provided, including personally buying oysters for his feline companion.
The project, animated by Nicholas Parsons and supported by the City of London, invites visitors to explore the significance of Hodge through various statues scattered across the city. This unique initiative highlights the enduring bond between humans and their pets, as well as the cultural legacy of one of London's literary figures.
