Matilda's Cat is a 2012 children's picture book by Emily Gravett.

The book is about Matilda, a girl dressed in a ginger-striped cat costume, who attempts to involve her similarly ginger-striped cat in various activities to no avail but then eventually snuggles up with the cat in bed.

A review in Kirkus Reviews of Matilda's Cat wrote "A master of animal countenance, Gravett pairs an expressive cat with a busy kid and winks at the difference between textual and visual message",[1] and Booktrust wrote that "Gravett’s illustrations in this funny and touching picture book are as delightful as ever.

"[2] Matilda's Cat has also been reviewed by Publishers Weekly,[3] Booklist,[4] School Library Journal,[5] Horn Book Guides,[6] Library Media Connection,[7] The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books,[8] The New York Times,[9] and The Wall Street Journal.
