Hodge The Cat - Southwark Cathedral
“Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.” — James Herriot
Cats have been worshiped as gods for centuries, starting with ancient Egypt.
Cats do know, they are the ones who rule the world.
They are cool, independent, they are diva's, adventurous and Cats have 9 Lives.
Let me introduce to you all - Hodge.
Hodge is the resident cat at London's Southwark Cathedral.
Hodge was rescued by the Catcuddles Sanctuary, a small cat charity with a big heart, who is offering kitties a home from home environment in a network of foster homes across Se and N London.

I first met Doorkins Cat a couple of years ago for the first ever Southwark Cathedral Photo Shoot. Sadly Doorkins passed away, but call it fate, Hodge the Cat moved in and kept the tradition of the Southwark Cat alive.
I met Hodge last year for the third Calendar Photo Shoot of the Southwark Cat. And what can I say, Hodge rocked it. We even wondered outside this year, which was a big jump, as we all know the outside word can be a bit scary.
Hodge is also very much in touch with his fans. So do check Hodge out on Twitter or Instagram. Hodge has its own fan group around the world and if you do pop in the shop at Southwark Cathedral, there are lots of Hodge Souvenirs to be found.

So next time you are visiting London, plan a visit to the Southwark Cathedral and see if you can find Hodge exploring or snoozing on the Deans chair.
Hope you have enjoyed my little blog about Hodge the Cathedral Cat.
