Pale Fire and The Repairer of Reputations

Dear List,
has anybody ever commented on the commonalities between "Pale Fire" and R.
Chambers' "The Repairer of Reputations" (
https://archive.org/stream/kinginyellow01chamgoog#page/n18/mode/2up)? The
hero of the Chambers' story claims to be a king (of the "American Imperial
dynasty", no than less) and scholar, but is more likely a madman, an
unreliable narrator and a murderer. As a bonus, a cat plays a critical rôle
in the plot.
(I checked the list archives to no avail.)
Thank you,
Nikita.
