How could the devil not be charmed by this…
A friend just sent me a list of things many may not know, with the intro that says, So you want to be a know-it-all; here’s a start, and so I read the list, which was funny and wonderful. Things like, how to get an alligator to let go of you—poke him in the eye. That goes for sharks, too, according to the mama of Mya, my doggy friend in France. And did you know your thumbnail grows more slowly than the rest. So important, this info.
But one of the things on the list was that the only animal not mentioned in the Bible is the CAT!!! Some will dispute this but hey, we are not ubiquitous (whatever that is).
Now why is that? In ancient Egypt, everyone revered us kitties—Cleopatra, for one. And the Sphinx doesn’t resemble a Jack Russell, right? So why were we left out? Well, in searching for the answer to this obvious ERROR on the part of Bible-writers, one radical website that cannot be mentioned out of respect for others’ ideas purports that cats came into 10,000 years ago before “creation” and because of that, were obviously the devil’s handiwork (note that devil is lowercase)! Oh, boy, the things people believe. So I guess the devil was lurking around before the world was created. Hmmm…now who created him/her?
Okay, okay, so we do wrap our anthros around our fingers and addle the minds of those who adore us to the point that they will do anything for us at any time and even apologise for not doing things for us but does that make us kitties the work of the so-called devil?
Well, I think that we were not mentioned because there were just not enough marvelous, wonderful, exotic, charming or accurate words to describe our innate loveliness, kindness, acumen and charm.
End of discussion.
In case you were wondering, the average four-year-old child asks over four hundred questions a day. This is from the great list of things you may not know. So in this case, we kitties ask only two!!! When’s breakfast? When’s dinner? Much less stress on our anthros…
And by the way, every human anthro spent about half an hour as a single cell. WOW! Thank heaven for the great divide, haha.
Us kitties are pretty special. We don’t need the Bible to tell us that. 😉
Dern tootin’!!
Very entertaining post and great photos!
Thank you, Christy Paws and welcome to my blog. Love your name!
Those are our two favorite questions also.
We asked Jan about the cats not being in the Bible and she said, Hmmm, I never thought about that.
Does Jan know a lot about the Bible? How nice for you kitties and doggies.
We cats really are special…aren’t we? Love this post and the photos. You remind us of Misty May. Those are two of her favorite positions. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Thank you, yes we are. But do you ALL really sleep on your anthro’s head??? What fun!
