Mrs Norris and Crookshanks are the only cats there, just the only 
ones mentioned in canon. It is a big castle with probably a lot of 
rodents to satisfy any palate. Besides he knows that M.Map. He helped 
write it. He knows every hiding place and then some. He is the new 
spy at Hogwarts. Hope he doesn't organize the rats.(shades of "Ben")
Need more cats!!!Oh..Oh.. don't snakes eat rats and mice??
