I'm intrigued and so I hope that someone can produce an answer this time round. Here's a link to last time's non-answer.

This is a poem to Selima - the cat Quizmonster mentioned, called "Ode on the Death of a Favourite Cat Drowned in a Tub of Goldfishes" written by Thomas Gray.

He also had another cat called Fatima - it's origins are unknown, I'm afraid.
According to the British Sporting Art Trust's website, Walpole's Patapan was a dog! Click http://www.bsat.co.uk/history.html
and look at the paragraph immediately under the first picture.
If that is the case - and I confess I do not know either way, though they sound like an authoritative body - then at least I may have narrowed the search a little for you!
