[Cats] Monday's trivia answer

[Sherlin7@aol.com]

I can't find that one in my mail, Marie. Did that happen to everyone else,  
maybe?
 Interesting answers, though.
 
 
Purrs &  headbutts,
Linda and the Catly Crew

Well,  either this one was difficult, or y'all didn't like the  question.

Answer:

According to one legend, the M on the tabby's  forehead is said to have 
come from Mohammed, left there when he touch his  favorite cat's forehead 
to signify his great esteem for  cats.

Another legend says that the Virgin Mary asked the animals in the  stable 
to come closer to warm the baby Jesus in the manger.  A tabby  cat jumped 
into the manger and nestled beside the baby, purring and  warming him. 
To show her gratitude, Mary bestowed her initial on the cat's  forehead.

Personally, I think the M stands for "Magnificent!"  <g>
