Today we are staying with literature: considering questions that involve cats.
One
A yellow tomcat who runs a shop with his business partner Pickles has a name in common with a talking cat from Narnia. This latter cat is eventually punished for his evil by being banished after his ability to speak is removed.
- What name do these cats share?
- What book features the yellow tomcat, and who is its author?
- In what ‘Narnia’ book does this talking cat feature, and who is the author?
Two
A familiar in Macbeth who nominally may be familiar with fans of X-Men?
Three
Luath, a Labrador retriever; Bodger, a bull terrier; and a Siamese cat take on the challenges of a 300-mile trek in the Canadian wilderness in a 1961 novel by Sheila Burnford. What is the name of the Siamese cat, and what is the novel?
Four
Lyra’s friend Will Parry‘s topically titular cat was named what, and in what novel did it make its initial appearance?
Five
Alice’s pet kitten in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is an adult in the sequel Through the Looking-Glass and has two kittens of her own. What are the names of all three of these cats?
Good luck! I’ll post the answers later.
