Having recently read HoME, it's noted that Beren originally was tormented by Tevildo, the Prince of Cats, who Tolkien shows as having all of the wonderful properties ascribed to cats. They toy with their prey before killing it, they lay around most of the day and do not serve Melkor well at all (unlike the loyal canine cousin Carcharoth).
