Hodge in Gough Square
Hodge was Samuel Johnson's cat in the 1760s, famously fed on oysters (a cheap option in those days) and supplied by the lexicographer with valerian on his deathbed.
A minor poet, Percival Stockdale, wrote An Elegy on the Death of Dr Johnson's Favourite Cat which includes the lines:
The general conduct if we trace
Of our articulating race,
Hodge's example we shall find
A keen reproof of human kind.
He lived in town, yet ne'er got drunk,
Nor spent one farthing on a punk;
He never filched a single groat,
Nor bilked a taylor of a coat;
His garb when first he drew his breath
His dress through life, his shroud in death.
The representation, by sculptor Jon Bickley, which has the cat seated on his master's dictionary, was placed here in 1997.

London: Fleet Street, from Ludgate Circus
Even now all the newspapers have moved out, (and bar profits accordingly gone into nose-dive), Fleet Street is full of life and vibrancy.

Dr Johnson's cat 'Hodge', Gough Square
"I shall never forget the indulgence with which he treated Hodge, his cat; for whom he himself used to go out and buy oysters, lest the servants, having that trouble, should take a dislike to the poor creature."
-- James Boswell, The Life Of Samuel Johnson, 1791
