While I can't name a definite popular book right away, think about how cats are often used as symbols in literature. In New York fiction for teens, a cat could symbolize independence or mystery. A popular book might play on these themes. It could be a story where a teen in New York is trying to find their place in the world and the cat they encounter helps them in some way. Maybe the cat leads them to new friends or a new understanding of themselves. The popularity would likely come from how relatable the story is to teen experiences in a big city, combined with the allure of the cat as a character.
Some great ones include 'The Three Lives of Thomasina' which tells the story of a cat, and parts of it can be related to the experiences of stray cats. 'The Cat Who Walks Through Walls' by Robert A.

This kind of imaginative and light - hearted yet engaging plot is what makes these types of teen series so appealing.
