But animals are used inconsistently in stories.

In one book you'll have cats and dogs not getting on. In another book they'll be best friends.

In some books the animal are so anthropomorphised the animal characteristics appear irrelevant. For example, in You must bring a hat there is a human protagonist who meets a hat-wearing monkey, a monocle-wearing badger, a tutu-wearing and piano-playing elephant, etc.

(It's a nice book, with lovely illustration. https://www.amazon.co.uk/You-Must-Bring-Simon-Philip/dp/1471... )
