Kinda in the same vein, been reading/listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl lately. One of the main characters is a tortoise shell cat that gains sentience. One of the more fun aspects in the early books is the main character Carl dealing with that cat being loud, not aware of her surroundings, and making it difficult to sneak around an RPG style dungeon.

Also the author really gets the "tortitude" right.
