Hemingway loved his casts. They became feral in Key West. His house is now a national park and the cats get zero help from the national park service even though they have the free run of the house.

Isaac Asimov!
"I never tire of listing the virtues of cats. They are beautiful. They are quiet. They are clean. They do not smell, and if their litter boxes are kept clean, they do not cause smells. They are easily housebroken and need not be taken for walks. (In fact, they scorn to be taken for walks - they walk where they darn well please.) They live with dignity and treat you with a quiet condescension that is soothing. (I dislike animals that jump all over you and slobber at you.) On the other hand, when they are at peace with the world, they will sit on your lap and sing softly to you. And at night they do not scorn to sleep in your bed with you."
And, from Wiki (take it for what it's worth):
"Originally a zoology major, Asimov changed his subject to chemistry after his first semester as he disapproved of "dissecting an alley cat"."
Cheers!

“Our cat is growing positively tyrannical. If she finds herself alone anywhere she emits blood curdling yells until somebody comes running. She sleeps on a table in the service porch and now demands to be lifted up and down from it. She gets warm milk about eight o'clock at night and starts yelling for it about 7.30.”I lol'd at that one!

The writing team of Miller and Lee are also very fond of cats.
Perhaps they are not considered literature but they have helped me while away a few pleasant hours.
