I'm very sure of it. Dara Happa most certainly has something like that. Need to keep the rats out of the granaries and the mice out of the manses. And the house-beasts smell. Prior to the domestication of the cat, the ferret was the pet of choice for keeping down the vermin but this went out of vogue sometime in the Bronze Age as cats don't smell as badly as ferrets and are generally more readily house trained.
