The Cat in the Hat is a children's book by Dr. Seuss. It features a tall, anthropomorphic, mischievous cat, wearing a tall, red and white-striped hat and a red bow tie. With the series of Beginner Books that The Cat inaugurated, Seuss promoted both his name and the cause of elementary literacy in the United States of America. The eponymous cat appears in six of Seuss's rhymed children's books:
- The Cat in the Hat
- The Cat in the Hat Comes Back
- The Cat in the Hat Song Book
- The Cat's Quizzer
- I Can Read with My Eyes Shut!
- Daisy-Head Mayzie

Famous quotes containing the word cat:
“You may say a cat uses good grammar. Well, a cat does—but you let a cat get excited once; you let a cat get to pulling fur with another cat on a shed, nights, and you’ll hear grammar that will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant people think it’s the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain’t so; it’s the sickening grammar they use.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
