Recs if you like Baron: The Cat Returns...

I learned wayyyyy too late in my life that most of the Ghibli movies were derived from books. Some we know about, like Howl's Moving Castle, some we don't, like I didn't know Kiki's Delivery Service was a novel originally! So I've decided to make a list for the Ghibli enjoyers who want to take a look at where these wonderful movies sprout from 😁

From sarcastic strays to magical familiars and mysterious midnight companions, this list celebrates whiskered heroes who quietly (or dramatically) steal every scene they’re in. Expect heart, humor, soft paws, sharp claws, and at least one emotional ambush.

Basically books with cats, whether it's books from my tbr or the books i liked with cats as characters
