There are some cat species that may not share certain characteristics (genetics), so two or three (+) kinds of cats may have been on ark. (these may have been younger) some cat species may not have survive the flood at all. since God directed the animals to come to Noah, to be saved.

“.....I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being. These teachers must embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subject they teach, regardless of the educational level—preschool, day care, or large state university. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and new—the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all of its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism (Dunphy, 1983, 43[1]:26).

Okay. But do you agree that however many kinds of cats were on the ark, if the number is smaller than the number of extant cat species, that means multiple cat species have developed from a single example of the cat kind? Which means, in other words, that multiple species share a common ancestor?

There's loonies in every group.
Excellent point! Some Creatures were divinely directed to the Ark; Others didn't make the cut. Whatever The Creator's reasons were are good enough for me...
