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

Yess! This is the kind of list I need!
I have a huge amount of cat books on the tbr haha, happy that others are into it too!
Definitely adding some of these to my own tbr!
Yay I'm glad! Can't go wrong with cat books haha
Have you read The Blanket Cats? I highly recommend if you haven't already to add it to your list 😊
Not yet! It's on the tbr and going on this list too!
Oh!! My best friend has a poetry collection coming out in August with a cat as the main theme/protagonist! It's called Best Cat In Show by Sage Evergreen!!
Ah how exciting!! I'll get it onto the list
Yay! If you're interested in an ARC copy (everything but the illustrations are finalized) they're available on the publisher's gumroad store! https://dragonbonepublishing.gumroad.com/l/best-cat
I can also recommend Tansy Rayner Robert's "Time of the Cat" for this list - Talking cats from the future with their human partners who time travel.
Fab, it's on the list!
May I suggest littered with trouble by Eryn Scott
I'm surprised Catwings isn't on here, though that's a kids book.
It's on here now! Thank you for reminding me of it!
I can also recommend the "the cat who..." series by Lillian Braun – a murder mystery in which two Siamese cats give their own clues as to the culprit through unusual behaviour - like collecting red items, or clawing up particular photograph. I believe it begins with "the cat who went into the closet "
Ah I confused that with the Japanese series haha (my deleted comment), I shall add them!
Edit: they are on here too as it turns out!
I can see it – and that is the first one in the series too, I had mismembered. It's a different style of cover from the ones familiar to me so Indidnt see it when I scanned the list. Lovely list and I look forward to helping add to it in future.
