Answer: Poe's Cattarina

Poe's tortoise-shell cat was also called by nicknames such as 'Callers', 'Kate ' and 'Puss'.

She was apparently a beloved and intelligent pet, as Poe described in detail how she went through a complicated set of steps to unlock a latch on the door. Perhaps she deserved an Edgar Award.

Answer: Guard their camps at night

In his obituary, 'Who Cares Wins', Prof Quentin Hughes MC, who served with the SAS at the time, said that Rob was just a home-based companion for the quartermaster of 2nd SAS. When Rob's true owners wanted him back, Prof Hughes claims to have 'concocted' the story about the operations.
