Victor Hugo owned a cat

I just reached a point in Les Miserables where Hugo just compared a man waffling over a decision to a cat for which you've just opened a door, as it stands there undecided about whether it wants to go in or out.

Has anyone ever done the research to make a list of all famous historical figures known to have owned a cat? That would be a very important glimpse into their personalities. Very important.
