The Cat Who... Series/YMMV

• Complete Monster: It's hard not to see Rosalie, Arch Riker's first wife, as this in one respect at least. When they divorced, she had their cats put to sleep so that Arch couldn't have them.
• It Was His Sled: Combined with Late Arrival Spoiler, seeing as how the majority of the series takes place after the fact. Poor Aunt Fanny....
• Seasonal Rot: The later books in the series were widely panned by both professional critics and consumer reviews, due to shoddy plotting and characterization. Many suggested that these installments were being written by a ghostwriter, though it was more likely due to author Lilian Jackson Braun's advanced age (she was born in the 1910s, but these books kept coming out until the mid-2000s!)
