If Beast had a cat somewhere in that enchanted castle. I’m pretty sure if you eliminated their need to eat and poop, cats could would just sleep indefinitely. That cushion would probably only move to reposition itself in a spot of sunlight.

I haven’t seen the recent movie yet, so I don’t know if they included any cats in it or not. I don’t remember-  in the animated film, do they ever give the beast a name or is he simply “beast?” He’s one of the two main characters, you’d think I’d remember his name. Talk about dehumanizing. If you are trying to get someone to treat you kindly the very least you could do is call them by a human name instead of “beast” – even if they are your kidnapper.
