979933 I know about several dog stories that are fiction, but can't think of any about cats. Are there any that anyone would recommend. (The only one I can think of is "Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss)

1029787 My favorite is Captain Kidd's Cat by Robert Lawson.

It's the story of the "pirate" Captain Kidd as told through the eyes of his pet cat.


316102 I've added some to the group's bookshelf. When I have more time, I will add lots more!

1297254 The first set of books I think about is the Lillian Jackson Braun series, "The Cat Who...", but my all-time favorite is the series by Shirley Rousseau Murphy where the detectives in the mystery are actually a very smart cat named Joe Grey and his feline girlfriend. Try going to Google and search for "fiction, cat mysteries".


1201828 i know warriors,warriors manga and umm.. the cookie cat saw it in the library is a very short book


316102 Check out the group's bookshelves. I and others have added a bunch of cat books for your reading pleasure. Some are children's, some are adult, but all are good. I forgot about the Shirley Rousseau Murphy and Lillian Jackson Braun mysteries. Don't forget Carol Douglas Nelson as well. I'll be adding more good ones as I find them. Enjoy!

Tailchaser's Song, by Tad Williams. Excellent book, sorta like Watership Down with cats

1607410 Try the Warrior Cat series! By Erin Hunter(it's actually a combination of three authors. The first book is Into the Wild Warriors Book One . It's about a house cat who wanders the forest beyond the fence of his home. He then discovers clans of wild cats that roamed the forest who lived by their ancestors and the Warrior code.The clans had lived here for generation, but Shadowclan are hungry for more... If you love suspense, friendship, trust, and of course cats. This is definitely a great book about cat fiction, and fantasy.

1684196 Has anyone read "Dewey" by Vicki Myron? It is a story of a cat that lives in a library in Spencer, IA. I just got my book and look forward to reading it.

Nophoto-f-25x33 It's not fiction. I actually just purchased the book also, haven't started yet but its on my list.

1124597 I loved the book. I am pretty sure if you love cats, you will love this book.

2128967 yeah the series Warriors by Erin Hunter is AWSOME you have to try it. It is full of loyalty and friendship and enemies and back stabbing. it's tons of gossiping and talking and planing behind backs

1916919 I just finished the first book in a new cat-related cozy mystery series: The Cat, The Quilt and The Corpse A Cats in Trouble Mystery by Leann Sweeney. I have mixed feelings about it, but I liked the cats. And I'll probably read the next book in the series.

2300434 Spy cat is a good one if you like mystery books, WARRIORS RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

490830 You aren't even getting the little taste of warriors. there is

Into the Wild
Fire and Ice
Forest of Secrets
Rising Storm
A Dangerous Path
The Final Hour

Then in the second series there is

Midnight
Moonrise
Dawn
Starlight
Twilight
Sunset

Then in the third series

The sight
Dark River
Outcast
Eclipse
Long Shadows
Sunrise.

then there are the Manga series which are at different periods in between the books. I don't think the manga's are as good as the regular series though.
