Cats vs Dogs

[Guest Biblicist]

And God created dogs. . .

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?"

Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us."

And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."

And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted.

And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."

And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.

And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings. And Adam and Eve learned humility.

And they were greatly improved.

And God was pleased. And Dog was happy.

And Cat didn't care one way or the other.

Well I read this to my rotweiller and labrador but they don't seem to be impressed.

I have thought about getting another cat. We have been cat-less for more than a year now and it is the longest without a feline in our lives. What puts me off though is that we live near the main highway to the West Coast and cats are no respecters of traffic rules, and our last cat met an untimely end that way. He was only 13 months old.

Punch the cat was absolutely the best cat, always greeted you wherever he was, and followed about 50 metres behind when ever the dog (the labrador, we replaced the Punch with Max the rotweiller) was taken for a walk. Sam the labrador was his constant companion and if punch ever found himself "in trouble" he would go and (physically) hide behind Sam, even if he had to get in Sam's box. And nine year old, three legged Sam would always growl at what ever animal threatened Punch.

I have been told "a new cat would have a rotweiller to protect him now", but I cannot assume that he would get on with Max or vice versa - cats are so "picky".

It often strikes me as odd that men are compared to dogs,

while women are compared to cats. . .

There are times when I find that analogy quite accurate, and others . . .

I think I agree with you.

But, that's just my opinion.

Not exactly flattering to women though.
