Yeah, but I thought that in the explanation of Christopher Tolkien stood that the original form of Sauron was this cat. He is still there in the later form of Beren and Luthien - but not as a cat.

Well, Might as well post some Beren and Luthien poems i have here...
The Hunting of The Wolf (A ballad.)
The red maw goes to Menegroth prepared to fight 'til end those that sung of wolfen wroth; his fangs wanting to rend King's hands, bow, and loyal hound rose to fight that day a hunt to claim the dark one's crown Carcharoth to slay The northern of Esgalduin The dreaded wolf did lay The hunters now approached herein Lured by feral bay Huan, friend of Lúthien Left Erchamion To go seek the wolf out then But Carcharoth was gone! Out of a thicket filled with thorns The Red Maw had sprung Filled with Melkor's hate and scorns Upon Thingol he flung Beren strode to fight the beast but was smote by prey Huan lept to stop wolf's feast and they were led away Huan, hound of Oromë Fought the lupine curse And Carcharoth, to his dismay sunk into the earth But in this moment, felled he was, Erchamion near-dead. And Huan, victor, raked by claws Went to Mandos then. “Farewell,” he said, ere his parting “We shall meet again. In Valinor, they will be calling; Live again, Beren!” Beleg, Mablung, Doriath Wept for him that day Victims of Carcharoth's wrath A small part in the play. They slit the belly of the beast Drawing the jewel wherein Tinúviel's dowry was the least To pay the wolf's own sin. Mablung placed the light of trees In Beren's living hand “Now the Quest is achieved.” But his life would not withstand. At the feet of H*rilorn Lúthien awaited Her lover dead, she did not mourn Not knowing what was fated Thus ends the Quest of Silmaril Cut from Melkor's crown Release from Bondage yet to end Until Beleriand sinks down
