The Legend of the "M" on the forehead of the Tabby Cat: The "M" sits between the eyes on the forehead. One Christmas Eve about 2 millenniums ago, a man and a very pregnant woman were headed to Bethlehem. Their going was slow, and they were late arriving. The only accommodation available was clean straw in a stable barn. That wonderful night, the exhausted lady gave birth to a baby boy, whom she called Jesus. It wasn't very comfortable in the stable. They were sharing it with animals and the noise kept them awake. The baby was quite fussy because of all the commotion, and because the straw was scratching him. His Mother wrapped him in some fine linen to try and alleviate his fussiness. A few streets away, there were some stray cats out looking for a meal. They sensed that something really big and special had happened, and they could hear a baby crying, not too far away. They made their way towards all the ado, curious as a cat could be. The scene was beyond anything they had ever seen. The stabled animals had settled somewhat, but there were throngs of people gazing at the child, and the night was like day because of the brightness in the heavens. But, still the baby fussed. One of the stray cats went towards the baby, and climbed into the manger with the child, and offered him a warm soft place to lay his head. The child was comforted and immediately fell asleep. The Mother, Mary, was so thankful that the cat had settled her baby. She thanked him profusely, and said that henceforth, all of his progeny would bear the blessings of God, and she touched him on his forehead. There, to this day, you will find Mary's mark of the letter "M" on the forehead of all tabby cats
