| - 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.

- Hodge era uno dei gatti di Samuel Johnson, immortalato in uno stravagante brano della Life of Johnson di James Boswell. Sebbene ci sia noto ben poco di Hodge, come la sua vita, la sua morte o qualsiasi altra informazione, ci è invece ben noto l'affetto di Johnson per il suo gatto, atteggiamento che lo distingueva da quello tenuto verso gli animali dalla gente del XVIII secolo.
