Did Elizabeth I have dogs

Answer 1

During her 45-year reign Elizabeth had many dogs. There is a painting showing her with a small lap dog - the dog's name was Mrs. Perico. The painting is attributed to Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder, circa 1585, and shows her at Wanstead House (Leicester's house). The painting is owned by the Duke of Portland and the painting can be seen at Welbeck Abbey. The dog, which looks to be a Maltese or something similar, is at her feet.

Answer 2

It has been said that there was a cat who roamed around her castle. There is a nursery rhyme about it:

"Pussy cat, Pussy cat

Where have you been?

I've been to London to see the Queen.

Pussy cat, Pussy cat

What did you there?

I scared a little mouse under her chair!"

Apparently a cat was in the castle and crawled under her throne, brushed her leg and scared her! She then decreed that the cat could stay in the castle as long as it did its job of keeping the mice away.

During the time period, house cats were common, especially in large houses and palaces. They helped keep mice and other rodents away. So Elizabeth probably did have a cat and some other pets too.
