    Hodge looks like a lovely kitty, and he is very nattily dressed in his tuxedo. Wishing him many years of blessing the parish.

    The delightful sight of Hodge can manage to warm a heart 5300 kilometers away in Quebec, Canada. Wonderful!

    A delightful introduction to the gorgeous Hodge. Doorkins Magnificat will be missed but I know visitors will be so pleased to see this wonderful furry boy. Long may he reign - and well done for getting a rescue cat!

    I'm so sorrowful to hear of Doorkins passing.
    But this cat now is going to do just fine I think.
    Thank you Padres for opening your hearts and letting kindness flow out for Hodge.
    May the Lord be with you all.

    Welcome, Hodge, to my favorite cathedral! Whenever I visit from California, I always stop by Southwark Cathedral and always feel very welcome there. I met little Doorkins last time and mourned her recent loss, so I'm happy that Hodge will be taking the job and look forward to meeting him on my next visit! He's a very fine cat, indeed.

    How wonderful. Lucky Hodge to have been given the opportunity for a new life in a caring environment. He is very beautiful. I am nearly 80 , lost my husband 9 months ago and am now unable to walk. I had a cat all my life from the age of six. They make wonderful companions. Sadly when the nerves in my feet were destroyed I also became allergic to cats. Not by sneezing but by coming out in a most distressing rash whenever I touched one. Sadly I had to give him away. I do get great pleasure from watching cat videos. Thank you. I am in New Zealand.

    Your video brings this American lady such joy, I was heartbroken I would never get to meet the kitty of Southwark Cathedral one day. Now I have Hodge to look forward to! I was wondering where the name Hodge originates from. Turns out Hodge is another name for "Roger" & originates from Ireland or rather English & Scottish immigrants who brought it there in the 17th century. Thank you for introducing Hodge to us!

    My first time here. Three years on, is Hodge well settled into cathedral life? Who looks after him, gives him his meals, cuddles, veterinary care? Hope he wasn't lonely and forgotten about during the pandemic. He looks settled and happy.
