Does anyone know any good books with shape-shifters in them? I especially like werewolves and cat people. Any genre is okay. I've read Sherriyln Kenyon and Christine Feehan and know a couple of odd ball others, but am having trouble finding more. Thanks!

Animorphs series by K. A. Applegate
"Switchers" trilogy by Kate Thompson is great: "Switchers", "Wild Blood", and "Midnight's Choice".
"The Good Die Twice" and "Full Moon- Bloody Moon" by Lee Driver
Thirty-year-old, leanly handsome Chicago-area private detective Chase Dagger employs 18-year-old, reservation-raised shape-shifter Sara Morningsky as his assistant in this series debut. As a sleek hawk, Sara witnesses the murder of a beautiful former model who supposedly died at sea some five years earlier. When Sara and Chase delve into her family background, they uncover hidden agendas, rivalries, and greed. The attendant breezy sex, violence, and action, coupled with bits of Indian lore and Einstein the talking macaw, should have readers clamoring for the projected next novel. Lee also writes as Sandra Tooley (When the Dead Speak).

If you read Russian, there'a a book by Viktor Pelevin called "Svyaschennaya Kniga oborotnya" - The Sacred Book of the Shapeshift. It's about kutsunes and werewolves. But I doubt it's been translated into English yet.
What is definitely translated is a short story by the same author called "A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia" - you can find that in several of his collections of short stories, and they're for sale pretty much in all major bookstores.

Fool moon,the second book in the Dresden files book series.The books are about Harry Dresden,chicago's only professional wizard who works as a detective.In 'fool moon' Harry Dresden is in werewolf territory – actually, as Harry finds out, not just werewolf territory, but werewolves, hexenwolves, lycanthropes and loup garou territory. (The book explains the difference!).
Hunter's moon,Moon's web are novels written by Cathy Clamp and C.T. Adams about a werewolf Tony Giodone who is an assassin-for-hire by profession.It is written from Tony's first person POV (point of view).Tony meets his new client, one Suzi Quentin. She wanted someone offed. Well, this is child's play to our boy...um...wolf...Tony. Only she knocks him for a loop when she tells him the name of the person she wants killed - herself!So begins the story.
Laurell K.Hamilton writes the Anita Blake book series which also features werewolves.But I didn't like it much.Especially the later books which are all about sex and nothing about plot.
Ronda Thompson also writes a werewolf romance series.Passable but not much interesting.

Try "47" by Walter Mosley
From School Library Journal
Grade 7-10–The intense, personal slave narrative of 14-year-old Forty-seven becomes allegorical when a mysterious runaway slave shows up at the Corinthian Plantation. Tall John, who believes there are no masters and no slaves, and who carries a yellow carpet bag of magical healing potions and futuristic devices, is both an inspiration and an enigma. He claims he has crossed galaxies and centuries and arrived by Sun Ship on Earth in 1832 to find the one chosen to continue the fight against the evil Calash. The brutal white overseer and the cruel slave owner are disguised Calash who must be defeated. Tall John inserts himself into Forty-seven's daily life and gradually cedes to him immortality and the power, confidence, and courage to confront the Calash to break the chains of slavery. With confidence, determination, and craft, Tall John becomes Forty-seven's alter ego, challenging him and inspiring him to see beyond slavery and fight for freedom. Time travel, shape-shifting, and intergalactic conflict add unusual, provocative elements to this story. And yet, well-drawn characters; lively dialogue filled with gritty, regional dialect; vivid descriptions; and poignant reflections ground it in harsh reality. Older readers will find the blend of realism, escapism, and science fiction intriguing.–Gerry Larson, Durham School of the Arts, NC

I can't think of their exact titles by Stephen King, but there was a movie made from his short story about werewolves called Silver Bullet with Corey Haim.
The other one has to do with cat people, and Brian Krause from Charmed and Madchen Amick were in the movie version of the story. Sorry, can't remember the title! : )

Um, in Harry Potter, there are these things called Boggarts. They are shape-shifters that show a person's worst fear.

harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban by jk rowling has a werewolf and a shape-shifter, but neither is the focus of the story, if that's what you're looking for.
