Skye Blake here again. This time I’m tracking down great felines in literature… cats in books, tomes, great reads, even cartoons and real life stories. Ever hear of “The Cheshire Cat”?

I’ll bet you know who “Garfield” and “Crookshanks” are! They’re all famous cats in literature, whether classic, modern or cartoon.
Here are a few of your favorite cats in a good kitty read. Who’s your favorite fictional feline? On the prowl now for those listed below and even more books about my fellow crazy cats!

These and so many more great cats as characters in books are available in your local library, book stores like Barnes & Nobles, or online at Amazon.com, Abebooks.com, and more. Links to these sources will be forthcoming…
