Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched The World is considered by many audiences as one of the best books for cat lovers. The story is very light-hearted and hilarious, suited to all ages and preferences!

Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched The World centers on a cat named Dewey. The beginning of Dewey's narrative is the worst imaginable. On an extremely cold night in Iowa, at a crucial age for kittens, he was placed inside the book return hole of the Spencer City Library. Vicki Myron, the library director and a single mum who had endured the demise of her small farm, a cancer crisis, and an irresponsible husband, discovered him the next morning.

Dewey quickly captured her heart -and the affections of the staff - by pushing himself up and limping on his scratching feet to nuzzle each of them as a sign of gratitude and affection. Throughout the following 19 years, he never ceased to enchant the city’s residents with his excitement, kindness, modesty, and, most importantly, his sixth instinct about who loved him.

T.S. Eliot wrote these adorable cat poems for his grandsons and pals in the 1930s. Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats has since charmed generations of youngsters and inspired the wonderful musical Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

T.S. Eliot has always struck most readers as a gloomy, fairly austere poet, with occasional sarcasm and comedy. Hence, many readers were intrigued to find out how he portrayed a group of alley cats and similar characters. And what they discovered has pleasantly surprised them!

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats is very ludicrous and humorous, with a childlike or fairytale-like earnestness. The laws of the cats are presented with an endearingly tongue-in-cheek seriousness. The nicknames of the cats were also absurd and exaggerated. The book does a fantastic job of portraying a feeling of whimsy and playfulness, something many people would not anticipate from Eliot. But after reading the book, we believe this playfulness seems to match him rather well.

Regarded as a hit in France, and also receiving Japan's Kiyama Shohei Literature Award, the celebrated poet Takashi Hiraide's The Guest Cat is a profoundly touching and exquisitely beautiful story about the impermanence of existence. It also discusses eccentric but heartfelt ways of living.

In The Guest Cat, a married couple in their forties reside in a little cottage they rent in a quiet area of Tokyo; both work remotely as freelance copy editors, and they have nothing to speak to one another. One day, though, a cat sneaks into their little kitchen. It departs soon but returns the following day, and then often comes back to them afterward. Soon, they find themselves purchasing goodies for the kitten and discussing all of its adorable attributes. The husband and wife's relationship now seems more promising; their days have more vibrant colors.

According to many critics, Takashi Hiraide's work "truly shines." His poetry has been praised for its apparently unending stream of shape-shifting things and sensations, whose shattering effect is achieved by a unique mix of pace and detail.

Homer's Odyssey is about the relationship between Gwen Cooper and Homer. In the story, cats were the last thing that Gwen Cooper wanted. She owned two already, in addition to a very low-paying job and a shattered heart. Then Gwen's veterinarian phoned her with news of an abandoned, three-week-old, eyeless kitten. It was love at first sight.

And who is Homer - the titular character of Homer's Odyssey? He is a very small cat, and everyone told Homer that he would forever be an "underachiever." But one day, this kitten suddenly turned into a three-pound powerhouse with a huge heart that warmly befriended every person he encountered. Homer could climb seven-foot bookshelves with ease; he could also endure being imprisoned alone for days following 9/11 in a flat near the WWT center, and even saved Gwen's life by chasing away an invader who entered their house during the night.

Gwen's life was revolutionized by Homer's unwavering commitment, limitless capability for love, and unflappable optimism in the midst of all adversity. And when she finally found her future husband one day, she recognized that Homer had shown her the most crucial lesson: Love is not something you can see.

When it comes to the best books for cat lovers, we cannot overlook I am A Cat, written by the famous Japanese author Soseki Natsume. The book has been translated into English, and received numerous praises from American critics. The New Yorker has lauded the novel as a careless succession of tales and witticisms, given by a cat who has no name, has never captured a single rat, and is not really skilled at anything except observing humans in action."

I Am a Cat, a comedy classic written by Soseki Natsume between 1904 and 1906, satirizes the folly of top Japanese society in the Meiji period. It chronicles the hilarious exploits of a world-weary wandering kitty who, with biting wit and sarcastic perspective, reflects on the foibles and flaws of the humans around him.

I Am a Cat is among Soseki's best-known works and a masterpiece of Japanese literature. Considered by many to be the most influential novel in contemporary Japanese literature, I Am a Cat by Soseki is a timeless masterpiece that will be appreciated for generations to come.

The wonderful Fat Cat Art by Svetlana Petrova combines Internet memes with classical art. Considered Internet sensations, Petrova's paintings feature her 22-pound, ginger-colored cat Zarathustra, which is placed onto some of the finest artworks of all time. Now fans around the world will have the chance to own a physical version of her art set, including numerous never-before-seen works, to enjoy for themselves or give to other cat lovers as a gift.

Zarathustra rewrites art history in a way that only an incredibly cute fat cat can. He either tries to compete with Venus's seductive reclining posture (and almost whacks her off her chaise lounge) in Titian's Venus of Urbino, or exhibits utter contempt as he skirts away from God's pointing finger in Michelangelo's Creation of Adam.

Fat Cat Art has received numerous praises from famous critics. The Huffington Post has exclaimed in their reviews: "It is confirmed. The only thing lacking from traditional painting is a fat and lounging cat!"

The Life and Love of Cats brings us onto a trip that is truly remarkable, which revolves around many interesting and surprising facts about a cat. And interestingly, similar to the mythological nine different lives of the cat, the book is also separated into nine chapters to match the theme. Some of the segments in The Life and Love of Cats are what could be anticipated in a book on a species: Domestic, Breeds, Evolution, and Wild, etc. Nevertheless, it is the much more peculiar chapters that captivate most readers.

For instance, in the chapter "Senses", the statistics, paired with realistic and up-close images, are compelling. In "Healing", data from a 2009 University of Wisconsin research indicates that, among a group of 4,500 adults aged 30-75, the stroke risk was 40 percent greater among people who had never had a cat (the rate was modified to get rid of other risk factors). Meanwhile, the chapter "Eternal" examines the myth and mythology surrounding cats, from Egyptian antiquity (when they were gods' animals) through the Middle Ages when they were demonized.
