Greetings Humans! It’s time for Top Ten Tuesday and today’s prompt is Books with your favorite trope/theme. My Mommy loves anything mysterious. A good who done it is bound to bring an extra treat for all of us to ensure no one will bother her while she and the clever detective is solving the mystery at hand. The other thing she loves, is me of course. So that means her favorite trope has to be cat detectives!
Let’s take a look at the world’s best cat detectives:
- Koko from The Cat Who…. series by Lilian Jackson Braun
- Kit and Pearl from Knitty Kitty Mystery Series by Tracey Drew
- Joe Grey from Joe Grey Series by Shirley Rousseau Murphy
- Mrs. Murphy from Mrs. Murphy Series by Rita Mae Brown
- Max from The Mysteries of Max by Nic Saint
- Hettie Bagshot from the No. 2 Feline Detective Agency by Mandy Morton
- Owen and Hercules from Magical Cats Mysteries by Sofie Kelly
- Elvis from Second Chance Cat Mystery by Sofie Ryan
- Syrah from A Cats in Trouble Mystery by Leann Sweeney
- Latifa from Destiny Falls Mystery & Magic Series by Elizabeth Pantley – Technically Latifa shouldn’t make this list as she is a scaridy cat worse than me and she loves to hide under the bed. But she’s the inspiration for Hayden and team to solve all the mysteries. Latifa is my idol for sure.
Have you read any of these series? I need to put my detective skills to the works here and get my Mommy to read a few of these. We’ve read all the Knitty Kitties and Destiny Falls books. The cat who could read backwards is on the Kindle. But I want to read them alllllll!!

This is a creative spin! Love it!
Awesome idea of post! Thanks for sharing
Love your choice of topic! I’ve glanced at those ‘The Cat Who’ books loads of times, never realised they were actually about a cat detective though somehow! haha will have to try them now!
Did you say cat detective? <3 I shall need to browse this list.
What a fun take on this week’s theme!
Thanks for stopping by my post too!
What a fun take on this week’s prompt, I love it! I had no idea there were this many cat detective books 🙂
Here is my post: https://herseriallife.com/top-12-romances-with-my-favorite-tropes/
I’ve not read any of these, but I do like a good cozy mystery! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I’m sure that you would be the world’s best cat detective, Elza, had you chosen to pursue that profession.
I love the theme you chose today.
I didn’t even realize that cat detectives were a thing in books. When I was a teenager, I read a few of The Cat Who books. I didn’t know there were MORE cat detectives out there.
The only one that I’ve heard of that you’ve mentioned is The Cat Who….Series. I’m not sure I’ve read anything with a cat as part of the mystery-solving team.
Very cute take on this week’s topic!
Love this topic! Mysteries and cute kitties? Who could ask for more?
Such a fun idea, I didn’t even realise that cat detectives were a thing!
OMG! I love your blog! It’s sooooo cute! I love the cats. I just love everything about it.
I also like mystery. I haven’t read any of the books you listed, though. Usually when I read mysteries, I read more thriller-y type books. I’m going to see if I like some of the books on your list, though, especially the ones involving cats.
Wow, I love this! I’d have never thought of this theme, but love reading about it in your post! These sound so intriguing!
Here’s my TTT post
I love that your favorite trope is at detectives! I really don’t know what I would say my favorite trope is. I like so many! Have a great week.
Hi Cindy! I actually also have way too many and cat detectives were nothing but a brainwave and an Elza purr.
But there are a few fun series’ with cats out there.
I am sorry I reply so late, but at least I get to it!!
Oh I’ve been saying I need to try some cozy mysteries and I can think of no better place to start than cat detectives 🙂
Hi Lindsey! I couldn’t agree more. Cats in cozy mysteries are the best you can get!
So sorry for the late reply and I hope you are doing well!
This is so much fun! I used to love the Cat Who… books!
Hi Kristin! I’ve only heard good things of The Cat Who… Series and seriously need to read it.
Glad you enjoyed our post and so sorry for the late reply!
Cat detectives? So cute!
Just a brainwave and a happy kitty later. My work is done!
Thanks for stopping by and so sorry for the late reply….
I love your list!! Added quite a few to my tbr!!! What a clever idea!!🐯
Thank you Joann! We always try to have fun with TTT!
So sorry for the late reply, the week just flew by.
This is a great list! There are SO MANY fun kitty mysteries out there! I’ve read several of the Cat Who series, and Koko is a really fun cat. I’ve also read a couple of Mrs. Murphy mysteries and the first Magical Cats mystery, and those were fun too. And thank you for the reminder that I need to read more Knitty Kitties! I read the short novella, but haven’t read any of the others yet.
Knitty Kitties are just so much fun!! I will make sure to get to Koko soon, really want to read that series. It’s been on my TBR for ages.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ve had a good week so far.
It’s been a good week so far, thanks! I hope yours has been good as well.
Cozy mysteries with cats! Now that’s a trope we can all get behind. This post brought a smile to my face.
Hi Lex! We are always glad if we can bring a smile to your face. Now we just need to read all these series’….
Hope you can get lots of purrrffect reading time 🙂
Hi Sarita! We constantly hope so too. This upcoming weekend, I believe there will be a bit more time for reading.
Thanks for the well wishes and I hope you’ve had a good week so far.
This post made me smile – I was only familiar with a couple of the authors but am happy to see there are others.
Hi Diane! Our aim is to bring a smile and if it is for you, we consider it as an added bonus! Thanks so much for visiting us always….
I had no idea this existed and it’s awesome! They looo so cozy. Great topic! 😊
Look*
Hi Leslie! A few of these are actually new to us as well. Amazing what you can find on Google and Goodreads and a few good searches…!
Oh, these books look adorable! I love cozy mysteries.
I find cozy mysteries pallet cleansers. I usually read one as an “in between”. If there’s a cat in it, it’s just an added bonus.
Thanks for stopping by Lydia!
Fun ideas. You reminded me that I still have a Rita Mae Brown on my TBR list. Thanks for that.
My TTT this week is about epistolary novels.
Hi Marianne! I haven’t read any of the Rita Mae Brown books, but I think I’ve convinced myself after today’s TTT to start reading it.
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks, Elza. I haven’t read any of the Sneaky Pie Brown novels but I’ve read the Hunsenmeir trilogy. An easy read but a lot of fun.
