Top 10 cats in Fantasy and Science Fiction

[Steerpike]

Recognition of felines is a worthy goal, but there are some omissions here. Which ones would you add?

The World in the Satin Bag: Top 10 Cats in Science Fiction and Fantasy

One obvious omission is Guenhwyvar from the Dark Elf books.

Ooh, the person who did this list is really partial to Neko no Ongaeshi (which I liked anyway hah).

The first one that comes to my mind, who isn't exactly a cat, would be Mogget, from the Old Kingdom trilogy. Sometimes he had a dark sense of humor, I loved it. I think it's about time to read again these books, they're starting to fade from my memory.

 

[Steerpike]

Oh yeah, Mogget rocks.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Jonesy is on the list; therefore, it is a good list.

What about Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service? Cute, snarky, and loyal. ^^

 

[Ankari]

The guy forgot He-Man's cat. The list is invalid.

Great cat. Doesn't listen when told something is hot.

Ah, forgot about that. I just missed He-Man, which was really getting popular with kids a little younger than I was.

There are a LOT of cat people in anime...

Google "nekojin", which as far as I know isn't a real Japanese term, but is used by anime fans in America... neko = cat and jin = suffix identifying groups of people.
Edit: Don't Google Image Search though...

What about the witch's cats in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles? Oh! or Cait Sith in Final Fantasy VII! Or even Crookshanks in Harry Potter. And Edgewood Dirk the prism cat in the Magical Kingdom of Landover

 

[Ireth]

Speaking of Harry Potter, there's also Mrs. Norris. ^^

 

[Devor]

Or even Crookshanks in Harry Potter.

Crookshanks is not really a cat.

I didn't liked the HP cats that much to add them to a "coolest cats" list.

Oh, do comics count? Deep inside I'm secretly a crazy cat lady and follow two comics about cats, cat versus human and The GaMERCaT - Gamers Gonna Game.

 

[Devor]

Eek! That reminds me, nobody's mentioned Mr. Scruffy!

Is GaMERCaT all Legend of Zelda spoofs or other games too?

 

[Steerpike]

How about The Cat, from Red Dwarf?

 

[Nihal]

Other games too and gaming-related situations. Mostly light humor. The downside is they don't update frequently.

 

[Chime85]

Tbh, I'm at the top of the world on this. Jonesy beat Mufusa! I wouldn't be too fussed, but if anyone is a fan of the Lion King, I'll be there......

 

[Kit]

Tybalt, King Of the Cats, in the October Daye books

Jake, the Cat From Outer Space. It was a Disney movie (I think) from the 70's.

The sentient tigers in the Black Jewels series

 

[Steerpike]

Ah, I was thinking of The Cat from Outer Space too.

Was Chester from the Bunnicula series mentioned yet? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunnicula#Characters_throughout_the_series
