A Goodreads user asked Gail Carriger:

Dear Gail, did I spot your cat's twin in Prudence? And by the way, I wish Goodreads would permit to give kittens instead of stars as a rating, cause I thought Prudence deserved a box full of kittens.

Gail Carriger Awe yes! I would love a box full of kittens. Yes Footnote's coloring and behavior is based on my cat, Lilliput, although he is a male and no so well trained. There's another tuxedo in the Final Finishing School book as well. Lord Akeldama has a calico based on one of my first cats as a child and he'll likely have a tabby at some point based on my last cat before Lilli. Bumbersnoot is based on a friend's dog, named Chumley.
