This week, you can win a pair of passes that will get you in to just about every event in this year’s Ann Katz Festival of Books—that’s nearly three weeks of literary events at the JCC, including appearances by humorist Annabelle Gurwitch, “White House Garden Cookbook” author Clara Silverstein, and Miss Manners herself, Judith Martin.

There's also films, art events and more. For a full lineup, click here. And note that the only event not included with the prize passes is Mickey's Corner with Michael Feinstein.

All you have to do is name your favorite Katz or cats below. I’ll pick one winner at random.

Good luck.

    I loved the cat from the Smurfs, Azrael. Also, the old show on Comedy Central, Dr. Katz, was a bit under-rated.

    When i was growing up my best friend lived next door to Ann Katz(In whose memory the Book Festival is named) and her family.
    She was a great mom and a real lady.

    Irwin Katz, founder of Katz Sapper Miller, honored his wife's memory and her love for books with a personal gift to the JCC to help underwrite this jewel in the literary crown of Indianapolis. This nonagenarian is a WWII vet, worked at Fort Ben during the war, lost his entire platoon at Battle of the Bulge, married his sweetheart, stayed in Indy after the war instead of returning to his native New York and became a leader in the city. He is a real hero and a Cool Katz!

    Lucky, Nicki, Casey, and Tess who are all in cat heaven and Gracie who is still w/ me. I love my sister's cats Puff and Brett too. Mandy was cool but I don't know her other ones as they are rescued feral cats and they hide.

    Mickey Katz is my favorite. Watched him as a kid doing comedy and theater when he came to Chicago. He sometimes performed with Molly Picon.

    Professor Katz from IU...he taught 2 great classes which I took, History of the Republicans and History of the Democrats. He was quite the quirky professor (and had some very funny one liners!) but we learned a great deal from his classes.
