Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is a Freebie so I’m going with Books with Cats in the Title. If you’re wondering how I came about this brilliant topic, what I did was reach out for the first object on my left, and it was my cats! (I might have cheated, but you’ll never know!)
Top Ten Books with Cats in the Title
- Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood – I read this as a young adult and it made a significant impact on me. It showcases the dynamics between girl friendships in a time where girls were pitted against each other. I feel like we’re getting better but there’s still a lot of progress to be made. It’s been a while since I read it so maybe it’s time for a reread.
- Save the Cat! Writes a Novel by Jessica Brody – I’ve been reading this book on and off because I find it fascinating, but there are spoilers for a lot of books I haven’t read so I skip parts and sometimes put it down until I read the books in question.
- Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron – Nonfiction books about animals inevitably make me cry. I read this book a long time ago and I barely remember the details, but I definitely remember the sobbing.
- White Cat by Holly Black – I read this so long ago I don’t even remember reading it, but I love Holly Black and apparently there are two more books in the series. This is a great excuse to reread and read the other books too!
- The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss – Can you believe I’ve never read this?
- Grumpy Cat by Grumpy Cat – I haven’t read this one either, but I’ve seen the memes and love them!
- The Cat Who Saved Books by Sōsuke Natsukawa – I remember hearing a lot about this book a few years ago, and I was initially planning to do a buddy read, but I got busy at the time and then just never came back to the book. If you’ve read it, is it still worth reading?
- Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams – A classic I’ve heard about but haven’t been interested in. I’d love to hear what other people think about it.
- Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut – Another classic, one that I am interested in reading. Hopefully soon.
- Cat Daddy by Jackson Galaxy – My husband and I watched many episodes of My Cat From Hell before we ever decided to adopt our cats, and it has helped us so much in understanding how to care for them. The book was good too; it had a lot of touching and interesting stories about himself and his experience with cats.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?
This is fun. The story might not be cheerful but “Dewey” sure looks like a really cute story. 🙂
It is a cute story! And it’s really good, just also emotional. 😭
I’m a cat lover too and a book lover. The only book on your list that I’ve read is Cat’s Eye which I read years ago – maybe it’s time I reread it too. I did a similar TTT post a few years ago – Cats in Books at https://booksplease.org/2020/11/17/top-ten-tuesday-cats-in-books/
Hahaha I love it!! Cats in books are perfect!
I didn’t know there was a grump cat book. Cool!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
Me neither! I was pleasantly surprised!
I’m not really a cat person but I did enjoy The Writer’s Cats by Muriel Barbery, a rather cute illustrated book.
That sounds like a wonderful book!
The Atwood and Natsukawa books have been in one of my recent lists as well, but I haven’t read them LOL. I haven’t read any of these.
My TTT: https://laurieisreading.com/2024/04/09/top-ten-tuesday-series-i-desperately-need-to-finish/
The Atwood book is really good. I hope you enjoy it if you read it any time soon!
What a great idea for a prompt. Who knew there were so many books with Cats in the title 😂
Have a great week!
Thank you! I hope you have a great one too!
Dewey was a good read.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.</a
It was!
Great list! I’m going to have to look for that Grumpy Cat book.
Here’s my TTT this week: https://bookwyrmknits.com/2024/04/09/top-ten-tuesday-bookbound-update-1/
Me too! I’m sure it’ll be a fun read!
This is a fun topic! You can never go wrong with The Cat in the Hat, and I love the Save the Cat! structure for stories. 🙂
Yeah, Save the Cat! is fascinating and I’m learning a lot!
Cat books are the best
They are!
LOL, funny! We have to find our inspiration somewhere, right?! Have a great week!
I love how you found yours! Happy TTT to you!
Such a diverse collection of cat books! And I love your source of inspiration.

It’s handy having cats around for inspiration!
I love Cat’s Eye! I was pretty young when I read it. I should probably reread it and see if it’s still good.
I’m curious how I’ll see it now too after so many years!
What a PURRFECT list! Thanks for sharing all of these, I’m going to have to add them to the list!
Purrfection!
Lol! I love it, you’re purrfect as well!
What a fun topic! SAVE THE CAT is a good one. It’s been very helpful to a lot of writers, I think. THE CAT IN THE HAT is classic, of course. I think I’ve read it a million times (at least). My kids always enjoyed it as a bedtime story as did I when I was little.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

I’ve never read it but I’ve heard about it and see references to it all the time! I should probably read it one day, just for posterity!
Aw, cute!
Thanks!
Such a lovely topic! I haven’t read any of these, but White Cat has been on my TBR for a long time.
Yes! I’ll have to reread it because it’s been a while, but I’m excited to get through the series!
Great list, Haze! I do the same thing with Save the Cat, because there’s a bunch of books in there that I’d like to read but haven’t gotten to yet. So much useful info, though!
