In Creatures, the main human character begins feeding a stray cat and names it Cat. In Noah Hypnotik, which I read very recently, there is a long summary of the cat-named-Cat subplot in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Julio-Claudian octopods and cats named Cat
Not only does Alfred Molina play both Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2 and an actual octopus in Remarkably Bright Creatures, but the names of the characters also sync. Doc Ock's real name is Otto Octavius, while the octopus in Creatures is called Marcellus. In Roman history, Octavius is the birth name of Caesar Augustus, and Marcellus is his nephew.
