Looking for the origin of this kitty! I found a site its says it's from "Book of Hours, Lyon, ca. 1505-1510. // Lyon, BM, Ms 6881, fol. 30r" but I consulted the manuscript in question (on the morgan library & museum) and the kitty isn't there. Someone can help? 🙏🙏

Miniature Excised from a Psalter: The Nativity (c. 1270).
This miniature survives with other fragments from a psalter preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It has been suggested that the manuscript may have been made for Queen Eleanor of Provence who became a nun of Amesbury in England following the death of her husband, King Henry III. The style and high quality of this miniature supports its association with a deluxe manuscript psalter made for a high-ranking patron.
