There have been two school cats in the history of the school, the first of which was a stray, and was invited into the school by some old fool, most probably for obscene purposes, and was named Billy Beaumont.
Many years later, the cat was run over (yeah, kill the cat!), but was unfortunately was replaced by a cat of the female variety, named Betty "Beaumont", which has visited the black poles.
When she first arrived, Stephen Penney threw a sausage roll at her, which she ate. Since this occasion, whenever she visits the black poles she hit almost stoned to death with a mountain of food.
Stephen's Mother almost managed to run her over once, but unfortunately missed.
