I think about The Master and Margarita where Behemoth is a full demon in cat form. Or I Am a Cat by Soseki, which is just a cat judging his human relentlessly. Even The Travelling Cat Chronicles has that weight of the bond between a man and his cat without being sappy.
What other books give cats their due? Fiction where the cat isn't just there, but matters. Could be literary, weird, philosophical. Just let the cat be the center.
