A description of Hodge, Dr. Samuel Johnson's cat, by James Boswell:

“I never shall 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.” - Boswell’s Life of Johnson (1791).
