When I train libraries on book displays, I use an image from a display promoting a program one of my colleagues created. Charlee has been able to gather 100 people into a room to create cat castles. This one slide from my presentation generates more questions and requests for information than anything else. Librarians love their cats.
Using cats as a theme is broad enough to include everything from cozy mysteries with cats to juvenile fiction about cats to non-fiction books about caring for cats. There are also books with cats on the cover as well as books with cats on the cover. An ongoing series of active and passive programs (made with interactive displays) is certain to be popular with patrons of all ages. Partner with rescue groups to increase your community involvement.
I have embedded Charlee's slideshow below which shows the basics of how to create your cat castles. They are also suitable for guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small animals.
