In the Flintstones closing credits, Fred puts the cat out and puts the milk bottles out.

When I was a kid, I thought he was putting full bottles of milk out for the cat to drink.

(Never thought about how the cat would open the bottles but, if pressed, I'd probably think it's consistent with a universe where so many of their tools are live animals)

Also, in the olden days, did people put the cat out at night because they thought the cat being outside at night was good? Or because they thought the cat being inside at night was bad?

(I know it's not best practice, but was was the contemporary reasoning?)

I don't recall seeing the "cat' anywhere other than the closing credits. It seems as if the Flintstones' only pet is Dino. I interpreted the cat as a stray (or wild?) sabre tooth cat that would sneak into their home.
