In 1975, physicist Jack Hetherington wrote an entire paper using "we" instead of "I." When told the journal would reject a single-author paper written in the plural, he added his Siamese cat Chester as co-author rather than retype the manuscript. The cat, published under the pen name F.D.C. Willard, went on to be listed as sole author of a French physics paper five years later.
