This is the adorable moment a snugly cat peacefully rested in the crib meant for baby Jesus Christ within the Christmas Belen.

The orange feline comfortably laid on the wooden platform adorned with LED lights, nestled in Christ's nativity display in Quezon City, the Philippines.

Tony Borcelo, who captured the video, called the moggy and it suddenly looked back at them.

Tony said: 'We were ordering food downstairs, awaiting our order. To our surprise, we discovered the three kings in the nativity scene, with a cat instead of Baby Jesus.

'I find it amusing because, instead of Mama Mary and Jesus, there's a cat lying there, keeping the three kings' company. I've seen this cat roaming around our condo.'
