Fine Cat Tile

Samuel Johnson (1709-84), compiler of the first English Dictionary, was not only a writer and critic, but also a renowned and witty conversationalist. Dr Johnson – as he is always known – was devoted to his cat Hodge who lived with him at 17 Gough Square, London. Referring to Hodge, Dr Johnson is reputed to have said ”...but he is a very fine cat indeed...” The phrase has been adapted so that fine cats everywhere can be acknowledged.

On this decorative tile an especially fine and splendid cat is shown on an especially ornate baroque backing. What better present for a cat lover?

Suitable for outdoor use. Fixing Point: one hole at the top of the tile.
