Yes, the character of Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes served as an inspiration for Macavity in T.S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." Both characters are depicted as cunning and elusive masterminds, embodying the archetype of a criminal genius. Moriarty is known as Holmes' greatest adversary, while Macavity is portrayed as a master criminal who evades capture, showcasing similar traits of intelligence and slyness.
