Today\u2019s topic is Animal Companions (<em>These animals can be real or fantasy!<\/em>) and was submitted by P.S. I Love Books! I don\u2019t read a lot of books with animal companions because my maaaaajor trigger is anytime something bad happens to an animal in a book, so I usually avoid books when an animal is mentioned just in case. LOL. But if it\u2019s a book I really want to read I will do deep dives and research the animals before I read to make sure they\u2019re ok. Anyone else do this? I\u2019ve even written to authors and begged for spoilers. Most of these books have surprise pets or animals in them that I didn\u2019t even know about, but not all. Some required deep dives and one required an email to the author. Also, I\u2019m bad with names so I don\u2019t remember all the names of these furry friends. Anyway, here we go!<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The cat in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/222279220-good-spirits?ac=1&amp;from_search=true&amp;qid=RXIof81jW1&amp;rank=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Good Spirits<\/a> by B.K.
