In looking for tongues, it appeared that most all of the early versions of August Leo illustrations have the cat's tail between its legs. And this is strongly in contrast with having the tail held up above the cat's back which is shown in the mosaic.
It might be the same cat in the middle (VMs vs mosaic), but it's different at both ends.
