Did the Olmecs have house cats? (like Egyptians)

Or are these Jaguars?

It is always frustrating to me when a newspaper or journal reports on something like this and they do not include a picture. ARRRRG!

This is amusing if you follow the online comic Wapsi Square. It is about a girl museum archeologist in Minneapolis, surrounded by supernatural events and beings, most of whom look like young women, but with vast powers.

You do have to start from the beginning. Sometimes adult themed.

four of which have cat figures, animals feared and venerated by the Olmecs,

I will admit that my information might be quite out of date but as I remember we know almost nothing about the Olmecs, not even what they were really called. So isn't the above statement speculation?
