Charley

Charley was a deleted character and Belle and her sister Clarice's cat from the 1989 screenplay of Beauty and the Beast.
==Role in the film==
Charley is first seen in the alternate opening being chased around by a goat as Maurice and his family arrive at the cottage. In order to escape his pursuer, the cat jumps upon Orson's back where he is spotted by Belle and 
Clarice who decide to keep him. He is next seen at Belle's birthday party, running to hide after he gets startled when she blows out the candles on her cake. Later on, Charley is hanging out with the girls in their room, when suddenly, Marguerite comes in and almost steps on him, resulting in him getting caught under her dress. However, Charley is able to get out and quickly darts under the bed where Clarice is hiding. He is last seen looking out the window on the night Maurice has failed to return, getting miffed when Clarice opens the window and some snow accidentally blows into his face.
Concept art reveals that Charley would've later snuck aboard the enchanted sedan chair and accompanied Belle to the Beast's Castle.
