That"s about the size of it, a legend. There is no mention of domestic cats in the entire Bible. ( wild species such as Leopards and Lions, yes) . The story was written sometime in the fifties as a a juvenile Christmas tale. The cat, who resided in the stable, is unnamed in the story. The story suggests that the M-like markings on the forehead of tabby cats is indicative of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is one of those generally harmless myth-like legends that one can take or leave with a grain of salt. Even if it were true the laws of genetics require it would have only affected that One cat and not the sub-species of felis domesticus. so it goes. By itself, this is mild compared to the ( legend) of talking animals in the crib, and some others. harmless but not canonical.
