I haven't read the books in a long time, but TV Tropes explains that all the animals in the books can talk, even though many don't talk in the films, like the maid's cat. They probably didn't need him to be a stop-motion character that can talk, because they can easily get the cat to chase Ralph the mouse, I guess. However, Catso in the sequel is clearly an anthropomorphic stop-motion character and is willing to eat Ralph at any cost.
