Comments: I love cats. They are the most loving and majestic animals on the planet. Cats are also very independent when they want to be left alone. I think that there might be several stories throughout history about these wonderful creatures.
Possible Stories: I know there is at least one famous story about a cat named Puss-N-Boots but I'm not sure what other kinds of stories I will find. I searched the link of past storybooks and found a few stories there. One story in particular called "The Cat and the Birds" stood out to me for its moral lessen at the end.

Comments: I love cats. They are the most loving and majestic animals on the planet. Cats can also be very independent when they want to be left alone. Since some cats tend to be more unsociable, like feral cats, I'm sure that there would be some stories about cats getting revenge on their owners or people in general.
Possible Stories: I searched the link of past storybooks and found a few stories there. One story in particular called "The Bakeneko" stood out to me for its ability to possess magical powers and its revenge quality.

Comments: I liked this story because it was so similar to "Little Red Riding Hood". Instead of using the wolf character, the story uses a panther (which is a type of cat) as the character who teases and torments the children.
Possible Stories: I searched the link of past storybooks and found a few stories there. One story in particular called "The Panther" stood out to me. It was basically a retelling of the classic story "Little Red Riding Hood".

Topic: Mermaid Roles
Comments: To me, mermaids have always been fascinating creatures ever since I was a little girl. Most of the stories I've read or movies I've watched about mermaids, they have always saved humans from some sort of peril in the sea. "The Little Mermaid" is a prime example of this storyline.
Possible Stories: I searched the link of Sacred Texts and found a story there. One story in particular called "The Mermaid Wife" stood out to me because she did not chose to live as a human, but was made to be a human. She longed to go back to the sea and be with her family. That is the complete opposite ending of "The Little Mermaid".
