Top 10 cats in Fantasy and Science Fiction

[Penpilot]

Yes the Cat from Outer Space. I couldn't get enough of him when I was a kid.

Kimba the White Lion... not to be confused with Simba the Lion King. No "borrowing" by Disney here folks. Nope none at all. Move along.

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

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I love Chester and Harold! :bounce:

How about Gareth, the eponymous Time Cat from Lloyd Alexander's book?

Jenna the hedge witch's cat in Robin Hobb's Fool trilogy is a great character. She does a great job of getting a cat's character. Can't remember the cat's name though.

How about Gareth, the eponymous Time Cat from Lloyd Alexander's book?

How have I not read this? I thought I've read all of Lloyd Alexander's books!

Harry from the Cricket in Times Square stories
Irma from Irma and Jerry
Tailchaser- Tailchaser's song
All the cats in the musical "Cats"
Simba and Sahiba in Andre Norton's "Catseye"

Kagaya-hime, "Fudoki".

Of course they forgot Jake, from The Cat from Outer Space. Old Disney movie, and so of course it's a little cheesy, but come on, a telekinetic talking cat from space!

(Edit: I just saw someone already mentioned him. Oh well. He still rocks.)

 

[Ophiucha]

Speaking of Jake, we can't forget Cake, the genderbent version of Jake the Dog from 'Adventure Time'. Because as we all know, the two animal sexes are 'dog' and 'cat'. (But seriously, Cake is awesome; she plays a dulcimer and is dating a flying unicorn!)

What does the list maker mean, "Science fiction is nearly devoid of cats?" Pixel, from The Cat Who Walks Through Walls! Heinlein's Shrodinger's Cat. Uber-awesome little orange tabby.

 

[Steerpike]

Whoever wrote the list just has a limited range of experience with science fiction.

I have been told by my wife to add Austin from Tanya Huff's Keeper Chronicles.
