Oliver in the Garden (published in the USA as Night Cat) is a 2000 picture book by Margaret Beames.

It is about a cat called Oliver that chooses to stay outside all night but after a number of adventures decides it is better indoors.

The Horn Book Magazine, in a review of Oliver in the Garden, wrote "Hitchcock's digitally rendered illustrations feature wonderfully dramatic and sometimes chilling nightscapes in a palette of deep purple and black occasionally cut by swaths of light and color.

The story is more atmospheric than well-plotted, the cozy conclusion more inevitable than satisfying.

"[3] A reviewer for the School Library Journal compared it to books like Marcia Brown's Shadow and concluded "this import from New Zealand promises to bewitch American picture-book readers.
