It just seems like it would have been the most practical pest control. But then those Pilgrims were weird about cats and though everything was the devil. So does anyone know exactly when the domestic cat stepped paw on the New World?

When the Wicked Witch of the East came to visit the Wicked Witch of the West. It was the
purr-fect moment. A bit before Columbus's time though. Zee pilgrims came a tad later still.

Actually, pilgrims are persons who journey, especially long distances. So you can slide on the use of the word, even referring to "Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria".
Cats were revered on ships of most periods throughout history, including the times you are referring to. Their practical purpose, far outweighed any superstition that was placed on them.
Somebody had a pet puma/cougar, before Europeans arrived on the shores of the new world. Domesticated cats as we know them now, came later.

Those three ships were part of the Christopher Columbus voyages and was not any of the ships that landed at Plymouth bring the pilgrims from England to America.

Columbus and his men came over on those boats, not the Pilgrims.
