Edward referred to the cat as his Anti-Charles Device. He later adopted a mouser at Windsor that appeared to like the castle more then moussing. The Duke of Edinburgh would refer to the pet as a 'ferret', and noted that it took a liking to tormenting the Queen and QM corgis. The same cat took to using Charles' zen garden as a large little tray.
Needless to say - I think they dont keep cats as cats can be uncontrolable.
Reading this, I had to giggle remembering "Dogs think they're humans. Cats *know* they're gods."

Oh my, the confused look on that wee dog's face cracked me up. It looks like he thought "they're nuts, they bring me out here for a walk and they start bopping . . . I'm out of here before they knock me in that very cold water right behind me".
