To take a concrete example, is "ceiling cat" a fictional cat?
Interesting question. Clearly the cat in question existed. But the
whole mythos of "ceiling cat is watching you" seems fictional somehow.

Anyway the previous comment about Felix the Cat being itself a
category reminded me how much I dislike categories. You never know
whether category membership is taxonomic (the subject of this page
*is* a fictional cat) or thematic (the subject of this page is
*related* to fictional cats). Same goes for subcategories.
