The protagonist of the novel had the cat. The novel is classic Heinlein.
Years ago I had an indoor/outdoor cat, Whitey. One rainy day Whitey was
sitting under the carport waiting for the rain to let up so he could
take care of business without getting wet. After a while he couldn't
sit there any longer and with a yowl of protest against the weather he
squared his shoulders and marched out to do what a cat had to do.
