| 1 | * OutlivedItsCreator: Faber & Faber unexpectedly turned it into a franchise in 2018 when they decided Eliot's proposed companion volume with the dog poems should exist after all, and comissioned Christopher Reid to write ''Old Toffer's Book of Consequential Dogs''. |

| 3 | ** English folk rock band Mungo Jerry, best known for their OneHitWonder "In The Summertime," took their name from "Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer." |
| 4 | ** English novelty song band Bombalurina, known for their TwoHitWonder covers of "Seven Little Girls" and "Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini", likewise took their name from "The Naming of Cats". |
| 5 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen |
| 6 | ** Originally planned (and marketed) as ''Mr Eliot's Book of Jellicle Cats and Pollicle Dogs as [[DirectLineToTheAuthor Recounted to Him]] by the Man in White Spats'', with a storyline running through the poems that would end with Jellicles, Pollicles and Man in White Spats all ascending to the Heaviside layer, before Eliot apparently decided mixing cat poems and dog poems was a mistake (although the Pollicles still get a mention in one poem). Some elements of this would be used as the plot of ''Cats''. |
| 7 | ** Grizabella the Glamour Cat originated in a poem Elliot wrote for the book, but was never actually published due to being "too sad for children". |
| 8 | ** Some time before Andrew Lloyd Webber got the green light to do ''Theatre/{{Cats}}'', Disney approached T.S. Elliot's estate about doing an AnimatedAdaptation of the book, but were turned down because Elliot's family didn't want it to turn out like ''[[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie The Pooh]].'' |
