Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the compatibility of cats with crime fiction by finding answers to the following questions: Why are cats in crime fiction stories? What are they doing there? Who do they belong to? Do cats have a real role in novels/movies? Are there detectives with cats, in the same sense that there are detectives accompanied by dogs? And if so, what are they like? By browsing through an impressive amount of crime fiction stories, the author identifies cats as pieces of evidence, as attributes of detective figures, and also as anomalies of crime fiction.
