Alrighty, black cats were a symbol of Hecate. Galinthias was a handmaiden of Alcmene, mother of Herakles. She distracted Hera long enough for Alcmene to give birth and Hera transformed her into a black cats and banished her to the underworld where she became a priestess of Hecate.

Ailuros is the Greek name for Baast, and equated with Artemis. In one legend, Artemis transformed into a cat to escape Typhon, which is equated to the god Seth. That's pretty much it.
