When I was a little girl, this was my favourite book: Link
It's about a cat who lives a double life like you're talking about, with two different families, who call him Charlie and Anderson respectively. =)
Space Cat, written by Ruthven Todd and illustrated by Paul Gabone, is still in print! You can also visit the artist's website here.
These are the books I wouldn't be without in a classroom:
My recommendation would be: Exile's Return
Rick Griffin has also done a short or two.
If you want to go old school, Sholan Alliance series is a good choice
For free stuff, I would check out Sunset of Furmankind by Ted R. Blasingame If you dont mind simpler writing Blue Horizon is also worth a look at.
I could look though my physical books and likely come up with a few more, but there isn't a whole lot of scifi.
Edit: A few more:
Otters in space, it is a bit better then the title suggest.
John Van Stry used to write stuff. Not to fond of his current model, and hes not really targeting furs anymore.
On a little different note, its worth mentioning the deathless series when talking about Audio Books. Its not really targeted at furries, but its a post-apocalyptic tongue in cheek scifi/horror that starts out with "No such thing as werewolves"
I may read to much.
Roald Dahl -- Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, The Twits, The BFG, George's Marvelous Medicine, and especially Danny the Champion of the World.
Dick King Smith -- Babe the Gallant Pig, A Mouse Called Wolf, The Water Horse, The School Mouse.
John Peterson -- The Littles series.
Ian Fleming -- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It's nothing like the movie, except for the car (although your kid will likely enjoy the movie, too.). The book involves a gangster plot. Ian Fleming wrote the James Bond novels.
Choose Your Own Adventure style books. The originals are too sophisticated for a 5-year-old. I found an out-of-print Pick A Path (not today's Pick Your Path books -- though I haven't tried the latter) to be perfect. Here are a couple 1, 2.
It's a tough call because you referenced Spiderwick and Narnia, which I wouldn't normally read to a 5-year-old. That level of sophistication in fantasy can quickly get into concepts you might not want to introduce at that age. But if so, consider the first couple Harry Potter books.
Skip things like Magic Tree House because those are books he'll read him/herself within the next 1 to 3 years (depending on how good a reader he is). I reserve bedtime stories for either picture books or chapter books that are well above my child's reading level. Well, except for the Pick A Path books.
Whoa, that's a lot. Okay.
takes a deep breath
My favorite story to tell my kids or read to them is definitely Mog The Forgetful Cat by Judith Kerr, because it's cute, and funny, and I just plain like the cat. Plus there's a video that's totally awesome even if it is an advertisement.
My personal favorite book of this year is Patrick Rothfuss' Doors of Stone (Book 3 of the Kingkiller Chronicle). If you haven't read it yet, I feel sorry for you, and I hope you get your time machine soon.
Best story I've ever written... tough call. My best story is probably from /u/redbird137's prompt "Your life is just a training simulation to make you a master at one specific skill." I've written other stories I loved, and this one could definitely use improvement, but I really liked how it turned out.
The best cat toy is always, and will always be, a little red dot. It also entertains toddlers quite well.
I'll follow up with another post with a response to the prompt, mostly because I need time to write it. So hold please, your call is important to us and shall be answered in the order in which it was received.
And Caplin's book.
EDIT: And Caplin's myspace and Facebook.
Sam Sorts or even Stack the Cats
Books are great, but I want to suggest that you also try to find some math games that you can play with him if you think he's behind. There are little sorting bears you can buy or you could probably make something like that yourself at home.
There are also apps that are really good for this now if you let him have screen time.
Good luck!

Caplin loves popsicles and yogurt. His owner also wrote a book.
I loved the old Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales. My favorites, though, are Catkin, Rumpelstiltskin, and Beauty and the Beast. I love to find different retellings of the old story. There is a wonderful version of Rumpelstiltskin where he is the protagonist. It's in a anthology with Terri Windling as the collector --can't remember the name.
I just amazon'd it and found this one: http://www.amazon.com/Indestructibles-Hey-Diddle-Jonas-Sickler/dp/0761158626/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1407535412&sr=8-8&keywords=indestructibles
Purchased. Thank you!
When I was very little it was Millions of Cats and The Mountain That Loved A Bird. When I got a little older it was... too many! And the list just keeps growing the older I get!

Book for your younger daughter. Book for your older daughter. (This is one of my favorite books to read aloud.)
Roll Tide Baby!
The Bob Books!!. Although "The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat" is a different classic tome.
I have a few books on my kid wishlist for $2.38 and under! They would love one of those they are big book worms. Thanks for the contest :) Would you do it for a scooby snack?
The most spooky thing I could think of was when I went camping for my birthday a few years ago I thought I hear a baby deer being murdered. Turns out it was just a baby a family brought with camping that was crying in the middle of the night about a half mile from where we were. Okay not super spooky but it scared the hell out of me when I woke up to the sound.
Clean!!

The phantom Tollbooth.
I am going to offer the first books of a few series because I know with my daughter who use to hate to read and is just now realizing she likes it - does so much better with series than standalone because she gets more invested in the characters.
There is the Warriors
There is also the wimpy kid
There is the classic Narnia books
Of course I linked the first book in each of the series so he can see if he likes them before you get to many.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Mog. It's written very much in the style of Mog, the greatest cat books ever.

Read this same story just tonight with my kindergartner: Bad Kitty Does NOT Like Dogs
Congrautlations!! What's her name?
My guess is 2:34 PM, Roll Tide baby!
As for a book, you should read her The Hairy MacLary books. I still love them!!
Any chance it wasa children's book?
Catkin. I looked just like the little girl in the story when I was a kid.
Stack the Cats https://www.amazon.com/dp/1419723499/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Q2uuDbEPZ1WNG
Goose Bumps, baby sitters club and SNOT STEW
I miss my younger self. I was rad. xD
snot stew
I liked Millions of Cats
OOH! I think I know this one; the grand escape by phyllis reynolds naylor ? It's apart of a 4-book series
Reminds me of the children's book "Charlie Anderson" about a cat that has a day-home and a night-home. It's also about helping kids deal with divorce. http://www.amazon.com/Charlie-Anderson-Barbara-Abercrombie/dp/0689801149
Basically the plot of this book!

Hands down, I think every single (preschool-aged) child should have the "Blue box of BOB Books" as their very first readers:
http://www.amazon.com/Bob-Books-Set-Beginning-Readers/dp/0439845009/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376121216&sr=8-1&keywords=bob+books
After Bob Books, other books that were on the "early-ish" side included:
"Jack and Jill and Big Dog Bill" by Martha Weston:
http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Jill-Big-Dog-Bill/dp/0375812482/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376121351&sr=8-1&keywords=jack+and+jill+and+big+dog+bill
We also liked, "Fat Cat Sat on a Mat" by Nurit Karlin:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Fat-Cat-Read-Book/dp/0064442462/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376121427&sr=8-1&keywords=fat+cat+sat+on+the+mat
The "Biscuit" and "Dick and Jane" books were great to have on hand. I think it's worthwhile to own a small stack of easy readers for the child to become familiar with and read over and over... and then get some to circulate from the library for new challenges.
I recommend the "The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat" by Nurit Carlin. It describes some of the daily activities of an overweight feline and its interactions with common household floor coverings.
