It just occurred to me - Harry Potter’s not really science fiction, is it? Nor The Coming of the Horseclans…?

15710

Neither was #1, Witches Abroad: it’s simply that science fiction and fantasy often get lumped together under one rubric.

15711

Okay, okay, so I cheated! Sue me! I know very little about fantasy and less about sci-fi, but I wanted to name SOME cat!

15712

That’s why I didn’t answer this one initially (I was going to say Crookshanks)–because I thought I’d get dinged on picking a cat from fantasy rather than sci-fi.

Mmm? Oh, I wasn’t trying to cast blame, just explaining that fantasy works often appear on sci-fi lists. “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” -Emerson.
