How Tabby Cats Got Their 'M'

Tigger

Now this legend is particularly close to my heart, and you've all seen my 'M' on my forehead!

Christian legend says the "M" on the tabby's forehead was placed there by the Madonna. One night in the stable, Mary could not get the baby Jesus to sleep. She tried everything and even begged the animals to help her. Finally, a tabby cat curled up by the infant and purred him to sleep.

As a reward Mary placed the "M" on the tabby's forehead.
