Samuel Johnson's Cat
Samuel Johnson's Cat,
originally uploaded by ghwpix.
As gzombie pointed out in my flickr photostream, cats sitting on their owner's work is not limited to modern cats.

See?
- my cat, Deuce
- my cat (may he rest in peace), Toby
- stag's cat, Mick
The full caption of the photo reads "A statue commemorating Hodge, Samuel Johnson's cat. Hodge is sitting on top of Johnson's Dictionary, demonstrating that in the eighteenth century, cats were just as likely to sit on your work as they are in the twenty-first century."
