RARA-AVIS: THE LONG GOODBYE and...cats?

Can anyone suggest why Robert Altman's 1973 film of THE LONG GOODBYE had Phillip Marlowe (played by Elliot Gould) owning a cat? Scanning quickly through the book itself, I could find no mention of a cat. The question is, am I missing some hint about a cat in the original text?

Many thanks. And hope I'm not too off-topic for the list.

Karen
