Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For more info please check out Jana’s blog.
Hello!
Another fabulous theme this week and one quite apt as my husband and I own two cats that are named after book characters.
So here is the list and first up are my cats!
Meet Lyra and Pan from His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
- Gandalf the Grey from The Lord of the Rings – This is my dream name for a long haired grey cat.
- Winnie from Winnie the Pooh – A female British Bulldog.
- Pilot from Jane Eyre – A male German Shepherd
- Holmes and Watson from Sherlock Holmes – Two male Beagles
- Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights – Male wire haired Dacshund
- Deuteronomy from The Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats – Male Maine coon cat.
- Darcy from Pride and Prejudice – Male or female Dalmatian
- Meg from Little Women – Female long haired collie
- Hercule from Hercule Poirot – Male Scottish Fold cat
- Tiny Tim from A Christmas Carol – Male Tea Cup Chihuahua
So there is my pet wish list.
Please drop me link with your Top Ten Tuesday and I will head over for a visit.

Thank you. My husband was reading the books when he had them as kittens so that’s how the names came about.

I think Gandalf the Grey is a great name for a cat. It would especially be cool if you had a second cat named Saruman. Here’s mine: https://sarahscorner82914520.wordpress.com/2020/11/17/top-ten-tuesday-characters-id-name-a-pet-after/

Aw Jess, your cats are beautiful and they are excellent literary names for them. I particularly love Pan – I wish I had thought of that for my list! I also love the idea of a grey, long-haired cat called Gandalf! 😍
