Books about cats written by women: 03/20/17

My friend Susan has a question this week on her West of Mars blog about cats in fiction. Specifically she's asking for recommendations about cat stories written by women. Look up at my header and you'll see that I like cats. I also like reading about cats.

Below is a subset of recommendations broken down by type of book. I'm including a bunch of picture books because they're fun. These are by no means all the cat books by women I've reviewed.
