Zuffi comments:
A big, placid white-and-gray striped cat seems to have fallen asleep by the warmth of a burning brazier; however, it is not quite asleep, for its ears are pricked up.
A cat is always aware of its surroundings. In this case, the cat is probably thinking, "I don't care if he is deity--Baby Jesus better not try to pet me."
