From detective cats to healing cats to library cats, felines have earned their own peculiar niche in literature. How well do you know the furry beasts of the book world? Can you match cat to quote?
"On the slope descending between her ears and eyes, the fur was sparser, the closest thing [the cat] had to a bald patch these days. But it was in no way unattractive. In fact it was intriguing and stylish in the way Yves Saint Laurent could make tartan a perfect match for polka dots…. Her whiskers were like dried grass, her chin a fuzzy beard."
