Don’t look so surprised. Everyone’s heard of bookworms, right? So I figure, why not book cats?
After all, some of the most important stories have cats. Think of “Puss in Boots,” for instance. Or the story of that silly little girl, Alice, who wanders in Wonderland. If it weren’t for the Cheshire Cat, she wouldn’t have survived!
And I have to give a nod to our friend Dr. Seuss, who wrote The Cat in the Hat, and The Cat in the Hat Came Back. Of course he did. Cats are survivors!
Every good story has a cat. Or several.

The one in Puss In Boots is pretty smart 🙂
Great take!
The ending is super! Meow- means the narrator is a cat too 🙂 A cat knows another cat better. This protagonist- book cat- is educated, having read so many cat books! 🙂

Cats have always held a certain fascination for authors. So many sides to their personalities.

Yes. And they look so knowing! Small wonder that they are considered the familiars of witches 🙂

Dear Linda,
Perhaps that’s why my books haven’t made the best seller list. No cats. Only dogs. 😉 Cute piece.
Shalom,

Yes, cats are an intrigue and provide copious characters; they should be in every story as they are part of who we are.

I’ve not considered it until reading this. But of course, every story or book must have one or more cats or it’s missing something. Well done.

Cats sure are a mystery. It could be why there’s so many books.
