Some books and stories and poems are supposedly about other people or creatures, but there is a memorable cat in them.

Alice in Wonderland´s Cheshire Cat springs to mind
I have more but someone else go next, okay?

I like Firestar and Leafpool form the warrior series

Tailchaser! Tailchaser´s Song by Tad Williams
N´f´rauu!

I don´t know Firestar and Leafpool yet but Tailchaser is a good one. Oh, also Matilda by Peter Beagle is about a cat in quarantine. And I still love Thomasina and Midnight Louie but also Mehitabel from Archie and Mehitabel.

I love all the kitty characters from the broadway play "CATS". Has anyone heard of? Rum Tum Tugger was always one of my faveourites as well as Mr.Mistoffoles and Mungo Jerry and Rumpleteaser!

Coincidently enough i just watched Alice in wonderland the other day for the first time in forever and i do and have always LOVED the cat! "Which way you want to be going, would be determained on what you are looking for."

I have also always loved Rajah from Aladin! Princess Jasmin´s pet tiger!

How about those siamese cats causeing all that trouble for Lady and the baby in Lady and teh Tramp? Or the perfect il persians from The Aristocats. And that wrong side of the tracks cat O´Mally ... Thomas O´Mally,O´Mally The Allycat

Sassey from homeward bound? She does a pretty good job keeping those pups in line ... "She wont she wont she wont she WOOOOONNNNT!" great movies!

Cat acters are EVERYWHERE!

Oh yes. I remembered Rhubarb from an old set of books by H. Allen Smith about a cat who inherited a baseball team.
And of course there´s all the cartoon cats.

MY MY MY! I cannot believe this slipped my mind! I have forgotten the most beloved set of kitty cat characters ever! Simba, Nala, Sarabi, Mufasa, Kovu, Chiara, Scar and Zeera! Aha! And all their lion and lioness friends!

You like Disney cats! The Lion King cats are great! While we´re on lions, let´s not forget Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia.

I love JINX the Himalayan, from "Meet the Fockers" and " Meet the Parents"....LOL

My favourite has to be Mr. Bigglesworth (the sphynx) from the Austin Powers movies.

ALL of the suspense in the first Alien movie came for me from worrying that Jonesy the ship´s cat was going to get alien-ated.

T.S. Elliott loved cats and his poems about cats are so delightful to me

Mr Mistoffelees

OH!
Well I never!
Was there ever
A cat so clever
As Magical Mr Mistoffelees!

T.S. Eliot

The Rum Tum Tugger

The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat:
If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse.
If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat,
If you put him in a flat then he´d rather have a house.
If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat,
If you set him on a rat then he´d rather chase a mouse.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat--
And there isn´t any call for me to shout it:
For he will do
As he do do
And there´s no doing anything about it!

The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore:
When you let him in, then he wants to be out;
He´s always on the wrong side of every door,
And as soon as he´s at home, then he´d like to get about.
He likes to lie in the bureau drawer,
But he makes such a fuss if he can´t get out.

Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat--
And there isn´t any use for you to doubt it:
For he will do
As he do do
And there´s no doing anything about it!

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast:
His disobliging ways are a matter of habit.
If you offer him fish then he always wants a feast;
When there isn´t any fish then he won´t eat rabbit.
If you offer him cream then he sniffs and sneers,
For he only likes what he finds for himself;

So you´ll catch him in it right up to the ears,
If you put it away on the larder shelf.
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing,
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn´t care for a cuddle;
But he´ll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing,
For there´s nothing he enjoys like a horrible muddle.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat--
And there isn´t any need for me to spout it:
For he will do
As he do do
And there´s no doing anything about it!

T. S. Elliot

when we talk of Disney cats, one shouldn´t forget the great D.C. and the cat who came from outer space - particularly the lat scene, when the cat becomes the citizen of the US.

Among the literary cats I´ve got so many friends, it would be difficult to name all of them. To mention a few: Koko and Yum Yum, Pelle Svanslos, Mrs Murphy, Miss Lucie, Cleo de Merode...

Among the mystery cats, we like Midnight Louie best.
He´s black, you know. He was the late great Treat´s favorite too. Cisco and Pancho

One of my favorite characters is Bulghakov´s black Cat Behemot: the scenes, when he tried to take a tram in Moskow, when he played chess.
Absolute favorite scene is from Mrs Murphy mystery, when Mrs Murphy, Pewter and Tucker were driving a Porshe!!!

Yes, that was a great scene! One in Midnight Louie that was really good was when Louie enlisted his mother (Ma)´s clowder-gang to ambush a bunch of motorcycle riding drug dealers, shredding the saddle bags with the drugs and taking off with the bikes.
There was a great cat character in THE MASTER AND MARGARITA too, another Russian novel I enjoyed several times. Trying to remember the cat´s name now.

Kokocat I LOVE your song quotes! Cats is my all time faveourite play ever!! I know all the songs like off by heart! It would be a dream come true to act in that play.

-"The mystical devinity of un-ashamed felinity, Life to the everlasting Cat." All The Way!

One of my favorite movies as a little girl was The AristoCats and Abraham DeLacy Giuseppi Casey Thomas O´malley the alley cat ( O´ Malley for short!) was my hero. I even name my first cat after him.. yes the whole name lol

and lets not forget Bagheera in( Disney´s) " The Jungle Book" another of my favorites as a little girl

ugh it posted twice sry

There was an Elfin cat in the Kate Forsyth series, "The Witches of Eileannan" but I forgot it´s name. It was ferocious, but took to one of the orphan waifs, and they became a formidable team. Kate Forsyth is an Aussie writer.
