And the Catassin was added on purrpose, too.
No, it’s not your imagination – yes, there is a cat in Assassin’s Creed Mirage that has a very deliberate Assassin’s Emblem on his snout.
Even more amazingly still, the cat isn’t even a work of fiction created by the dev team.

But for a game like Assassin’s I’ve realised that design formula, the ludic equivalent of prose, really does work a bit like a window pane in its best moments,” Donlan wrote in the Eurogamer Assassin’s Creed Mirage review, which secured four stars out of five.
“Through the warmth of familiar rituals returning after those bigger, rangier games, I get to see what’s really special about this series, what it takes to create, perhaps, and what it can give us in return.”
And find out why Digital Foundry’s Thomas asserts that “Assassin’s Creed Mirage delivers a polished experience on all current-gen consoles”.
