While the Cat's Away: 12 Books About Our Favorite Felines

Kipling’s classic jungle adventure features not one, but two striking cats! Bagheera, our young hero Mowgli’s mentor, is a former captive panther with enough cunning and confidence to earn him the respect of the jungle. The other big kitty in this book is the notorious tiger, Shere Khan, who stalks Mowgli throughout his life and tries to assert himself as the “Lord of the Jungle.”
