Cats

Name a couple of your favorite books about cats. Can be fiction, can be nonfiction.

Also, do you have a favorite cat magazine? How about a favorite cat movie? A favorite cat toy?

Favorite cat site?

Favorite real life well-known cat...


Warning: I'm making lists... and will without hesitation pick and choose as the Catwhisker Digest (over there at Catwhisker.net) is set for a makeover.

Well, other than the books already mentioned - plus your own fine mentions of Lucky, and later Lady Dignity, Merlin and company -

Lillian Jackson Braun's "Cat Who..." series.
Primarily because Koko and YumYum made sounds I've heard come out of real Siameses. Siamesii? Anyway. Anyway, Penelope and George would have Understood.

I'm in the middle of a cute mystery anthology edited by Carol Nelson Douglas: "Midnight Louie's Pet Detectives" Lots of good cat stories in there.

I'd like to second everything mentioned above!

PS A neighbor down the street when I was growing up had 7 cats - all unusual names, all distinct personalities, all well-known and many loved by the neighborhood kids. Cat Balak, Zelda, Clyde, Noko Marie, and drat, can't remember the other 3. And I used to feed them when their humans went on vacation too. Pooh. This is going to keep me up
tonight. Well - it didn't help that Clyde actually had FIVE NAMES, because he'd convinced FIVE FAMILIES in the 'hood that He Was Their Cat. Yep, he was skimming of a bunch of houses and answered to 5 different names. We all had a good laugh when we figured that out.
