Cats, cats and more cats! Welcome to The Cat Love Club where we curl up with books featuring (suprise) cats, the perfect reading companions 🐈 List credit to my own cat because she is inspirational 😩✨️

Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

Books that are written from a feline's perspective or include sections from their perspective! Cats definitely have the ability to write books, they just choose not to because they're busy taking naps and being gremlins. Please comment recommendations!! And let me know if any of these books actually don't have a cat's perspective.

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

Books that have significant cats, because what bookworm doesn't enjoy cats? (For series I have only included book 1.)

book where cats are main/side characters

Let the animals tell the story! I am trying to be as comprehensive as possible with the exception of children’s books, graphic novels and comics (too many to list!)-although there are some. The list is inclusive of the Animal POV main quest and the Cat POV side quest.

Every book or author mentioned in Ruth Ozeki’s “A Tale for the Time Being” in one convenient place

A list to deepen one’s understanding of cross-literary conversation from a 21st century author.

I created this list in the spirit of one of the central themes of the novel, that being that literature is a conversation through space and time. Writing is a kind of time travel, if only just to the future, and reading is one to the past.

classic literature featuring authors and stories of africa, asia, and the middle east, mostly narrative fiction and memoirs instead of poetry/spiritual

Japanese authors talking about cats -curious, interesting, wholesome
