It’s another Top Ten Tuesday, now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl!
This week is officially a freebie topic week!
I’ve been compiling this list for a while now, being the cat person that I am. Today’s freebie topic day is THE DAY to share it with the world! This is not a comprehensive list, but it is one of notable and beloved felines in fiction.
12 Best Fictional Cats
Beloved Cats
Narnia in A Match for Emma by Pepper Basham | This one is extra-special because Pepper mostly named Emma’s cat after my own cat, Narnia, whom I had to say goodbye to earlier this year
Banjo and Good Luck in The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery | Maud captures the true natures of cats with these two personality-filled pets!
Parcheesi Rose in Three Quarter Time by Rachel McMillan | Parcheesi causes some allergies um, problems that endear the hero to the heroine
Pip of the photo studio, Archie of the truck in The Curse of Misty Wayfair by Jaime Jo Wright | These two cats offer personality and humor to some otherwise serious scenes! Archie, in particular, serves as an example of the hero’s tendency to rescue ❤
Perry in The Thirteenth Chance by Amy Matayo | Perry is a VERY pampered cat, whether he wants to be or not
Cats Who “Adopt” People
Agamemnon adopts Paul in Impossible Saints by Clarissa Harwood | While Lilia takes an instant liking to the stray, Paul’s reluctance is funny then sweet as the gray cat takes up residence with him anyway
Earl Gray adopts Kiera in A Grave Matter by Anna Lee Huber | from his meager barn cat beginnings, Earl Gray becomes quite the companion and art critic!
The “Bookshop Cat” adopts the ladies of The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay | this cat is catered to by all three ladies, but he specifically seeks out Janet when she really doesn’t want to be a cat person
Cats as Good Judges of Character
Dickens in Wedded to War by Jocelyn Green | He comically doesn’t like a particular suitor of Charlotte’s
Magpie in A Convenient Fiction by Mimi Matthews | Laura’s cat Magpie takes a particular liking to Alex from the start!
Your turn! Do you have any favorite fictional pets? Cats or Dogs? What did you pick for this week’s TTT topic? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
The Green Mockingbird 
Fun post! I think my favorite cats are the ones in Coraline and in Alice In Wonderland.
Thank you.
The Chesire cat! Yes, he is very memorable!
Fictional kitties! Love that topic. 🙂
🙂 We need more of them!
I love this, Courtney!!!
🙂 Thanks!
I always like the Dusty Miller in Anne of Windy Poplars. Having him in the story added to the quirkiness of Rebecca Dew’s character.
